Less responsibility to think and create the scene in film than in literature. Easier to jump through time in literature, whereas in film it is much more difficult to do so since chronology is key in film. The pace of the two mediums differ where a film is 90 mins and everything must be told in that time frame whereas in literature is limitless. Reading literature or viewing films could be a different experience for the reader/viewer since everyone has their own experiences and histories. When you watch a film with your favourite actor/ least favourite actor, it can change the way you view it.
