Concept
Books and movies remain the most popular cultural represent forms.
Will they have mutual impact on each other?
For example: When a film adapted from a book released, will the checkout number of this book in library increase?
I chose several adapted films respectively released on 2006, 2009, 2012 and 2014.Compare the checkout number of specific book in the normal time and the time after adaptation film released to find the trend over months and years.
And I use three-dimension space to construct my visualization.
