Chocky - Tv Vs The Book :: essays research papers

ChockyThe story Chocky was written by John Wyndham and was later adapted into a TV drama by the BBC. The producers, Pamela Londale and Vic Hughes, kept the same title for the TV serial as the Novel, and named it Chocky, only the image text had some changes in events, unalike character interpretation and alternative substance of showing foreshadowing.The Film interpretation differs quite a lot from the Novel. There were a number of changes to the game, but most of these were only little issues. One of the major differences in plot was Matthews alliance with Colin. Colin was Matthews next door neighbour in the Novel, but there was no close friendship or relationship between them. However in the Film, Colin is Matthews best friend, classmate and neighbour, whom Matthew was always gossiping and tomboying with. One of biggest changes occurs in the character Piff. Piff was Pollys pine gone imaginary friend in the Novel who was only talked ab out(a), whilst in the Film Piff w as still around and living. Another change from the Novel was the way in which Chocky helped Matthew. Chocky gave Matthew the ability to draw properly, helped him to swim and then save Polly, and taught Matthew to do the binary code in both texts. However in the Film Chocky also gave Matthew super strength to play cricket, develop fast reflexes to play computer games and do the rubix cubes at amazing speeds.The Film Editor, Oscar Webb left out some scenes and added some different ones. One of these new scenes included the visit to the planetarium. Later we saw Chocky entering Matthews body during a math class, along with other scenes in the class rooms, such as biology, not previously mentioned in the Novel. Also Matthew visited Colins house on legion(predicate) occasions and we saw Matthews Mother and Father shopping for a new car and then Matthew winning a cricket game. The editor in chief also added more detailed facts about the holiday at the Cottage. both of these extra eve nts added more to the Film than the original Novel.n 2 -The ii texts had quite a few different character interpretations. One of the major differences being in the interpretation of Chocky. In the Novel Chocky was only a voice in Matthews head which Matthew would translate to other people, whilst in the film she had an actual voice which was presented by the Actor, Glynis Brookes voice.
