First, explain how the video changed or remained faithful to the story and how this affected your understanding of the story and its theme. Use specific evidence from the text of the story, as well as the video, to support your ideas and observations. (Make sure you explain specifically what the theme of the story is, too!) Then, evaluate the choice of costumes, set, and actors in the film compared with the text version. Why did the director make the choices he did, and what effect did they have on the story, plot, theme, and/or viewing experience?
