This paper is an attempt to find the connection between literary texts and film studies. There is a connection between literary texts and films since the emergence of cinema. Many texts are converted into movies and some movies are converted into literary texts. When these two forms are converted there are chances of elimination and editions. There is always a contradiction in adaptation. The written narrative must not be considered as a measure of quality of film as it is a totally different artistic creation. Films and literary texts must be considered as independent artistic creations. In process of adaptations, high Fidelity leads to better outcomes.
