Instead, he focuses on the technology of the camera he is using to film, and shows his audience what the kino-eye sees and what really…

representation of the screenplay. The movie 12 Angry Men displayed differences in the roles of characters, adding scenes, and a changed ending. The changes made were for the most part a good addition and contributed in a positive way towards the film.
