Read the following passage and answer question Nos. 46-50.
The matter of adaptation of literary or theatrical works to the Cinema has been taken for granted by most early filmmakers including – not the least among them – Sergei Eisenstein. The Lessons With Eisenstein, as recorded by one of his students, Vladimir Nizhny, are, in fact, lessons in film adaptation … Reading Lessons with Eisenstein gives the impression that filmmaking is adaptation. Were not some of our most memorable film experiences derived from novels, plays, Broadway shows ? So, what is the problem ? The author is dead – or nearly so. Texts are open – or can be opened. Plagiarism is an empty concept.

 Adaptation has been an issue in both classic and post-classic – that is, pre-mid- 1960s and post-mid-1960s – film theory. But whereas classical theory dealt with the transfer of a work from one set of codes to another set, recent film theory of adaptation offers but variations on the theme of authorship. For, to paraphrase Robin Wood, if you have a masterpiece, sooner or later the presence of the master will be felt. This is  why film adaptation remains an important issue today in as much as auteurism endures. One could, of course, allude here to the observation of McLuhan that any new medium absorbs the products of earlier media. That is what film did with regard to literary and theatrical works. And we can see the same phenomenon occurring today with television. This new comer, indeed, absorbs everything; journalism, education, religion, entertainment, sports, arts, business – all. But McLuhan has not done much more, in this respect, than to help us to take note of a rather obvious phenomenon. This phenomenon creates problems for the filmmaker. The latter shows that a screening of his or her film on the TV network has important implications regarding the very perception of the film – let alone necessary market implications. While making film, a film maker may have to keep in mind that his or her film may eventually be shown on TV and this may mean disaster to the complex sound track, to image composition where the values of colour and masses may be neutralized, and, above all, to framing. It is not a purists matter of the work being unaltered, faithfully reproduced. It is a matter of life or death : there are film segments that just won’t go on the small screen. 

​Similarly, the adaptation of a literary or theatrical work to film can be a matter of life or death for the work concerned. As Andrey Tarkovsky has noticed : Some works have a wholeness, and are endowed with a precise and original literary image, characters are drawn in unfathomable depths, the composition has an extraordinary capacity for enchantment, and the book is indivisible; through the pages comes the astonishing, unique personality of the author; books like that are master pieces, and only someone who is actually indifferent both to fine prose and to the Cinema can conceive the urge to screen them. It is all the more important to emphasize this point now, when the time has come for literature to be separated, once and for all, from cinema.

​Read the following passage and answer questions from 71 to 75 : 

The increasing market orientation of news media by private media forces the public
service broadcasting sector to chase for audience rather than present quality news. The days when reporters got stories because they were good stories that people ought to read have now
almost completely gone and stories are now gathered because they will interest the target audience and tempt them to buy the magazine or newspaper. The marketable stories are desirable enough to tempt journalists to behave unethically more often than would be the case
were their motives for pursuing the story less trained with commercialism. Celebrity is now a major selling point for a newspaper or magazine. An interview with a major celebrity is very hard to come by and can take months to set up. Fees are sometimes paid and prior questions are given to them. This is where the star’s public-relations managers are able to select the pictures to be used with the interview and to read the interview, giving approval and, if necessary, making amendments in the questions. This means that top stars are able to determine which media carries their words and pictures, where that appears, and that the story very carefully maintains their carefully-crafted image. Stars are often heard complaining about intrusion into their privacy. Major stars are not only able to limit their appearances to key media with prior questions’ approval but they are also able to sufficiently protect their privacy to ensure that those are the only stories that get out. Less talented celebrities are obliged to seek media exposure in more salacious magazines or newspapers, but still the principles are the same. Many of the so-called snatch pictures of celebrities are carefully posed to ensure maximum publicity for the star involved. As most press relations experts will tell you, there’s no such thing as bad publicity. With celebrity ruling the news agenda, and manufactured  news ruling celebrity, it can be no surprise that the temptation is there for a journalist, working for a publication that is not
on the top celebrity’s reading requirements, to bend the rules themselves to get work. It is all very well for the elite – politicians, academics, intellectuals and others – to complain about the dumbing-down of newspapers, the replacement of serious political discussion, international news and mind-broadening information with celebrity titbits, but whilst commerce is the driving force for the media, the media will continue to provide people with what they want and that often means celebrity gossip.
