What are some problems adapting plays to film? How are they solved?

I have to write a research paper on adapting plays and fiction to the big screen. I will be concentrating on Shakespeare and how conveyance of thoughts, feelings, etc. is handled in both mediums. Any help, whether it be possible sources or advice and actual material, is appreciated. If possible, please send your reply to my e-mail: jward11@juno.com Thanks.
