For instance, in Lust Caution, Ang Lee has to use his own knowledge to build the setting and the characters of the story. In order to make use of the characters to present the story to audience, filmmakers have to design the characters hairstyle, clothing and choose the actors and actresses that they find suitable for the characters. They also need to choose the place that they find suitable for filming the story. For example, Ang Lee needs to build the setting of Old Shanghai and Hong Kong of the old times. Moreover, they need to choose suitable background music to build up the atmosphere and write scripts to present the story. Eileen Changs Lust Caution is a short novel that does not include many conversation or very detailed descriptions. Ang Lee thus needs to add in a lot of imagination to present a complete story with appropriate amount of lines for actors and actresses to act. For example, Eileen Chang just put their plan of spying in simple description as to set a honey trap for on Mr. Yee: to seduce him, with the help of one of their female classmates, toward an assassins bullet (18). In the film, Ang Lee put all their plans in lines and described how they passionate they were as a group who agreed to join the spying plan. Visualizing all these to present the story is inevitable in film adaptation. However, as a result, a lot of details that is invisible in the novel is presented to the audience and leave less room for imagination to them. The change of medium due to the automatic difference makes a film adaptation impossible to be faithful to the original text. Therefore, it is more appropriate to describe it as dissemination than interpretation as the transformation is obvious.
Besides, there is a change of points of view that makes the movie of Lust Caution much different from the original text. According to Robert Stam, it is a clear shift in point of view or, to change the metaphor, to a change in voice, a transvocalizaton(72).
