Fiction adaptation: Haiku video

We had a class to see what Fiction adaptation was, and it seems to be quite an interesting subject to choose. the lecturer was Mike Rymer, who is an experienced filmmaker, having worked all around the world for different genres and platforms, such as a promotional video for UCA Farnham, and we were told about the processes that something goes through when being translated from one form of media to another, such as the written word to film.
