Do you prefer using your imagination to create the story in your mind when reading, or watching it come to life on screen? Explain your choice.

Can you think of a time when what you imagined while reading was very different from how it looked in a film?

I prefer to use my imagination because if you see it on screen, you know exactly how the director sees the story but if you read it and imagine it in your head, we will all have different views on it because there is not just one. Me and my dad when I was little read all of the Magic Faraway Tree books and I imagined what they looked like in my head but when the movie came out I had a whole other view on it but I preferred how I imagined it in my head.

I like both. I really like reading books that also have a film or movie. Since when I read a book, I can then imagine in my mind when reading. When I finish reading a book, I will try and see if there’s a movie or film to go with it. If there is, I will watch the movie and compare what I’ve imagined to what the movie is like.
