- Abstract
The study entitled A Study of an Adaptation of an E-San Novel to Screen Play: A Case Study of Ratree aimed to develop a screenplay adapted from an E-san novel, Ratree, through the study of the novel. The research designed the methodology using qualitative research methods by collecting documents from state and private government and educational institutes, textbooks, research, films, and novels. The Three Act Storytelling concept was applied to analyze the structure of the novel, Ratee, which received the Young That Artist Award of 2007 by the Siam Cement Group Foundation, and used the Narrative Theory to develop Treatment and Screenplay. The last step was using the Tension evaluation form of the narrative structure that the researcher developed to analyze the situation and develop the screenplay. The study results from the Three Act Narrative structure analysis, consisting of the setup, the confrontation, or build, and the resolution, or payoff, to the development of the novel's plot, Ratree, shows some differences. In the novel, the story is presented without chronology. However, the Three Act Narrative structure analysis requires a chronology in the storytelling. The use of the Narrative Theory, consisting of theme, plot, character, conflict, setting, point of view, and special symbols to develop the treatment and screenplay through the project's tension evaluation form developed by the researcher shows that the evaluation form helped the research to be able to develop situations in the screenplay to be better and more interesting, in terms of creating situations that affect the characters and create more tension.
