Theorising Film-To-Game Adaptation, Scott Knight
Theorising Film-To-Game Adaptation, Scott Knight
Scott J. Knight

It proposes a series of film-to-game adaptation models which describe the practice of this type of adaptation based on structuralist approaches to adaptation theory, aesthetic game studies, and scholarship on transmedia storytelling.
