La adaptación de dos relatos infantiles a guion del largometraje cinematográfico: “Océano”

Abstract

This research aims to study the field of the script to register the most important aspects of children's stories adapted to cinema, as well as to study the emerging adaptation theory through case studies with a strong focus on the techniques used by cinema to accentuate its main message. It is also studied when a film can be positioned as an adaptation, the hero's journey and its various manifestations and the problems of the hegemony of north American cinema in Latin America. This allows theoretical-practical research greater rigor and knowledge to merge and adapt two children’s stories to a feature film script titled Océano. Therefore, the creative process is presented from the third part of this investigation. The illustrator - screenwriter relationship is not exempt from the study either, since they make possible the visual identity of the characters. This work offers a new vision about the adaptation of children's literary works to film scripts.
