Script-to-screen Scavenger Hunt

After watching your selected script-to-screen video, how did the screen adaptation transform elements of the original script?  What did you notice about the adaptation that you think makes the final film less or more effective?

    The screen adaptation maintained most of the elements from the original script, but made the scene much more concise and eliminated some details. Specifically, the adaptation removed some of the extra shots and lines that directed the focus onto other characters and away from Elle. I feel that the choices that they made in this scene made the final film more effective as it condenses the scope of this scene to show Elle's growth specifically, rather than including extraneous information and adding a line which characterized another character to be even more of a bully than she already was at this point in the story. Specifically, the final product cuts a line from Vivian (who was named Sarah in the screenplay) where she mutters "The idiot speaks." which would've characterized her as someone much more negative and mean-spirited than she ultimately was in the film, which may have hurt the audience's perception of her and altered the dynamics between her and Elle when they become friends later on. Otherwise, the details changed made the scene's pacing better, such as eliminating the shot of Emmet walking in and instead including it as a reaction to Elle's answer. A minor detail that they also changed was that Elle's resume was scented rather than engraved, which makes for a more comedic moment as the professor Callahan then sniffs the resume.
