Summer video

I came up with a summer video project I can do alone and use in class: a narrated comparison of parts of the screenplay of The Fr Lt's Woman with corresponding scenes, showing how the stark simple clarity of Pinter's writing translates into lush film storytelling, clarifying what the screenwriter contributes -- and does not contribute -- to movies. I can make a 15 min or 30 min video and use it in class. If it comes off as I imagine, this would be very useful -- and I'd put it online so other teachers and students can access it. A worthy project.
