Answer 2

In the movie 'To kill a mocking bird', the film was shot from the 3rd person's point of view, instead of Scout's 1st person point of view in the book. When a movie is shot from the 3rd person's point of view, it allows more scope of story-telling and narration.

• When a movie is shot, the way of storytelling becomes different from the book. For example, in the book, Scout is narrating the story in 1st person. Scout was not happy with Jim as he was acting so mature. She did not like Jim to be behaving like Mr. Atticus. This could be shown in the movie as the transition was portrayed from the 3rd person's viewpoint.
• When the movie is narrated from the third person's viewpoint, it allows for flow and transition. It is very crucial for grasping the viewer's attention.
• In the movie, the protagonist Scout narrates the story from a more adult perspective. She is looking back and sharing her memories. So the viewer has more depth of understanding about Atticus's story and his decisions.
• Thus, it was important to narrate the story from the third person's view in the movie.
