The XXIst century could be named « Century of communication ». These means and utensils of communication replace each other at a spotlight. The mobile phones and Internet come and change every day the actual situation and we therefore end up calling the five continents banded as one: «< The planetary village ».
The Medias have the role to transmit and retransmit events on sports, politics, socio- cultural and even geographical events. For example, a train accident in INDIA, volcanoes in JAPAN, and those taken as hostage in far north region in CAMEROON are known through out the world, thanks to the ondes. Also, it is thanks to this evolution that the cinema and in particularly video which help in spreading of cultures. If audio-visual wins ground today, it is because it can't be done without the scriptural and graphic support. We prefer watching a film; a documentary or a fiction rather than reading a novel as interesting as it can be. While in other to obtain a screenplay, we first need a text which choice is consecrated to the study of movie art which can be titled «< Screenplay art: Literature springs in a film. While getting closer to the method of adaptation which is the process of transformation of a literature text into a cinematographical novel. The present study while be oriented towards the written scenaristic theories. It main ambition is to retrace by showing the different steps of creation of a cinematographical novel: gotten from this idea, in one phrase for a text of ninety pages represent the ninety minutes which are necessary for a long film and less for other one.
Therefore in other to better understand the efficient theories which permite a good comprehension of the passage from text to film, we shall chose three different movies, El topo by JODOROWSKY(RUSSIA), Rear window, HITCHCOCK(USA), and Cite-campus by Vincent NDOUMBE(CAMEROON) from three different authors which are different from their origin, their methods and style. Thus critical analyses which calls upon several procedures. We shall start by the structural, semiotic and thematic convergences (similarities) the tragic painting of human dram above the human colour. Let it be in Africa, Eastern Europe or in America, men face a lot of difficulties to their adaptation and surviving Everything falls apart either by disseverment of his death. Man is an animal which is betrayed either by his destination or by his brothers, but sometimes, a movie brings him to forget all
That not withstanding, if the seventh art succeed in making both the artistas well as the public happy aboard but it is still a little bit clear in Africa. Some Africans who work in the cinematographically industries don't overcome there needs form their job. Cinema becomes a luxury for a certain category of persons, others to past time and also for pleasure. Anywhere it is necessary to find out the bad origin not only in the lack of help and financial production, but mostly in the formation of actors, scenarists, directors which are key elements in the construction of a film. The first stage construction is that of scenarios which is nothing else than the realisation of images in text before the shut.
We refuse the balkanisation of cinema at one angle of the world, but to carry or let it by it position as an accessible medium for all, which answers to the five exigencies which are: original, visual, emotional, credible, and universal.
