Film Play

What scene in the novel would lend itself well to film and why?

            To be a successful scene in a movie a couple things must be present such as action, suspense and intensity.  The scene that i think would be perfect in a movie is the scene where Billy is being assassinated.  The reason why this scene would be perfect for the big screen is because when we first see Billy he does not know what is going on, but he does know that he will be killed.  This is where pathetic fallacy comes into play where we know who is going to kill him but he does not, so it gives us the sense of empathy for Billy to draw in the audience.  When the scene goes black it gets the audience attention drawing them in even closer to the scene and at this point in the scene there is so much tension because the audience knows that something will happen, they just don’t know when.  Then finally the scene continues because like in the novel the movie will not show what actually happens.  This leaves the audience to make their own assumptions, some will believe he lives and the other will believe he will die that he was assassinated. This is the perfect scene because it doesn’t involve a lot of special effects and keeps it simple. These types of scenes make for the scenes because the audience is not distracted by the effects and can follow the characters and plot more intensely allowing for the drama and suspense to build to the absolute max before the climax hits.  That is why i believe that this scene would be a film scene.
