Adapting a Short Story or Article Into a Script
Plan the adaptation of a work I own the rights to.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Plan the adaptation of my own short story or article into a script. Source summary: [SOURCE_SUMMARY]. Target form: [TARGET_FORM]. What must be preserved: [MUST_KEEP]. What can change: [CAN_CHANGE]. Identify what is internal (thought, narration) and how to externalise it. Create a table with Source element | Problem on screen | Adaptation choice. Merge or cut characters as needed and justify. Outline the script beats with page counts. Suggest where to add visual motifs. Warn that adapting someone else's work needs permissions and rights clearance, so only proceed with material I own or that is in the public domain, to be confirmed [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION]. Add a section on structure compression: how to reduce time spans, merge locations, and externalise inner conflict through objects and action, with two examples invented for illustration. Include a checklist of rights and credits to resolve before sharing the script, marked [VERIFY], and a plan for showing the adaptation to a trusted reader.
