“…Furthermore, Hutcheon & O'Flynn (2013) mentioned that there are several motives that make an artist or writer adapt a work, such as, economic, cultural, personal or even political motives. Tan (2022) added that film adaptation can add value to the literary work itself.…”

This study aims to analyze the comparison of character and characterization of life and death instincts in the novel and film All the Bright Places. Furthermore, this study also aims to reveal ideological and economic motives through the adaptation of the novel All the Bright Places into film. This research used a qualitative approach with a qualitative descriptive method and Freud’s theory of life and death instinct. The results of this study show that there are differences between the novel and the film All the Bright Places, such as: first, the first setting in the novel is the high school bell tower, while the film shows the setting on the bridge; second, it is told in the novel that Finch has repeatedly attempted suicide because of his death instinct, while the film does not really show the side of his death instinct, but rather displays his life instinct; third, Violet's role in the novel greatly changes Finch's life. In contrast, in the film, Finch is more influential in Violet's life. Finally, it can be concluded that there are ideological and economic motives through the adaptation of the novel All the Bright Places into film.

“…The existence of Adaptation is important because they allow to the story to be shown in a new way, making it possible for more people to know about the story and appreciate the original work [1] Adaptation can be either successful or be the exact opposite of it. For an adaptation to be considered successful, it should not deviate too much from the original literary work which it is adapted from and unless this is not the case, it is likely that the viewers label the adaptation as "unfaithful" to the original work [2]. It means that an adapted work should not make too much of a difference from the original work, to not be called as "unfaithful" an adapted work should not change the plot, character, or the theme of the story too much.…”

There is a debate over the measure of a successful literary work adaptation. One party argues that a successful adaptation follows the originality of the story so the viewers will not label the adaptation as “unfaithful” to the original work. However, the other party suggests that an adaptation should not follow the original story and that it should become a new version of the original work. These debates indirectly discuss whether an adaptation should limit the interpretation of the original story when adapting or giving freedom when interpreting the meaning of the original work to the adapted work. Following the debate, this research aims to explore the process of a short story adaptation to a short movie to reveal the changes of meaning as portrayed by the text and the movie by using semiotics theory. Observation and interview were used to gather data from the producers of both text and short film during the production of the short film to understand the author’s and the adapters’ interpretation of the story. The result of this research shows that turning the colours mentioned in the written work into visual was one of the major changes that took place in the short film production and in the written work. This research concludes that an adaptation liberates the meaning of a story by turning a single mode story into a multimodal story that represents rich interpretations and visual representations.
