FICTION ADAPTATION: ESSAY PLAN

Paragraphs are all relative, but are an idea of what different paragraphs might say.

Introduction

• Define Adaptation
• Introduce Sherlock as TV show of choice based on original Conan Doyle works.
• However this is by no means the only modern day adaptation of Holmes that I will be looking at Elementary (2012-), Sherlock Holmes 1& 2 (2009 and 2011 films), Mr. Holmes (2015) will have to be mentioned along the way whether it is in the introduction depends. 

Para 1

• Conan Doyle and how many works he produced.
• When he was alive and how this effects what mediums he encountered.
• He was living during the victorian era subsequently his character is from then and operates during the time. 
• His books would have been a big source of entertainment during the time as opposed to films which came in later in his life. 

Para 2

• Audiences during his time compared with for example Sherlock in the 2010s.
• Cultural changes between the 2.

Para 3

• Methodology difference between Films/TV and Books.
• Books: 1/2 people, Images Imagined
• Films/TV: Big audience, Cast & crew different viewpoints on how, Budget, Images created

Para 4

• Motives of adaptor do they want to change it or stay faithful to the source.
• Who its pleasing

Conclusion

Audiences won't always necessarily be transported back as it depends on the adaptor and their motives. As shown in Sherlock (2010-) modern interpretations can be very different, but may for example have small hints to more traditional days such as when Sherlock adorns the deer stalker hat. 

I'd also like to add another element to this essay in that Sherlock are doing a special one of episode to be aired at Christmas where judging by the trailers, the modern Sherlock and Watson played by (Cumberbatch & Freeman) will be back in Victorian London. This may suggest a want to show faith to the source material completely which is a very different angle to the Sherlock (2010-) we know.
