White Noise

I've been thinking about a novel or movie to use for the upcoming paper, and I think I would greatly prefer to use one of the novels I have lying around. There are a few reasons why I generally prefer to analyze writing as opposed to movies, and for sake of argument I'd like to discuss white noise, or interference via detail..
Part of the problem is that movies often have little choice but to convey the entire scene to the viewers at once, while a novel-writer may choose to leave out details that they do not feel they need to specify. For example, suppose a scene takes between two people speaking to each other in a city park late in the night. The novel will likely describe the dialogue, some emotions, and perhaps a bit of the scenery for the sake of comprehending the atmosphere. If it is unimportant whether or not the moon shines brightly upon the two or not at all, whether the nearby park bench is made of wood or metal, or even what type of coats the characters are wearing, the novel can leave it out. A movie scene, however, cannot help but show you that the moon is illuminating the cheap wood-plastic bench upon which the two characters are sitting in their gray, 3-piece suits. The level of unnecessary detail provided can occasionally detract from the integrity of the scene.
This also tends to confine a movie to a specific interpretation, and while this can be remedied by occasionally doing a "remake" of a movie, often producers will prefer to work with more original material. This, I think, is one of the reasons that people so often are unsatisfied with a cinema rendition of their favorite novel. The view of the novel offered by the movie simply may not conform to the imagined version of the reader/viewer. In essence, it is a conversion of the novel as a text to the novel as a work.
