셰익스피어의 희곡텍스트들에 대한 오손 웰즈의 영상 번안 전략 연구 -<멕베스>와 <오델로>의 영상 테크닉 비교 중심으로-

Abstract

The purpose of this study is mainly to examine the fundamental principles of film adaptation and also investigate especially into the main strategy of Orson Welle film adaptations of literary works in terms of artistic approach of his own. The strategy of his film adaptation was not only to include the main intentions of original writers but also add his own vision and themes so that the process of adaptation could create the unique artistic works. During his own career, Orson Welles filmed many Shakespeare film adaptations. For example,Macbeth remains true to the play's text but present it with his visual vision in terms of artistic filming. Also Orson Welles didn't hesitate to add his own themes into his film adaptation ‘Macbeth’. But Welles dramatically changed his own conception of film adaptation when in filming his next project, ‘Othello’since the film version which showed his changed conception of film adaptation was radically different from his prior adaptation. While his intention was still not to harm the original texts, his film version of ‘Othello’ was a creative adaptation but also included new themes and ideas of his own. Also one of his last adaptation films, ‘The Trial’ could be regarded as his best and ideal adaptation. Therefore Investigating into experiments of Orson Welles will prove beneficial to learning process of how to create unique film adaptations.
