A student director at a film school has turned Selection 1 into a short film. His version of the text features tight camera angles that primarily focus on Mendel’s face, manuscripts, and pea plants. The lighting inside the abbey is dim and appears to be lit only by candles. Mendel is never seen speaking, but his inner thoughts can be heard throughout the film. In which of the following ways does the director’s interpretation of the text reveal the theme of Selection 1?
A
The techniques used in the film support Mendel’s desire to become a famous scientist.
B
The sound over technique used by the director of the film reflects Mendel’s private nature and shyness.
C
The mood of the film supports the tone of the text and Mendel’s fear of not being able to present the findings of his research successfully.
D
The camera angles support the author’s presentation of Mendel’s excitement at being accepted by the biologists of the world at the conference.
