When a book is made into a movie and parts are left out or changes are made -- the film makers are using artistic licence

The movie Titanic - the sinking of the Titanic is a real event in history but the characters in the movie are fictional. The writer took a real event and used artistic licence to create a story.

Artistic liberties

A favored term of filmmakers who create films based on or around a historical event/person/era that holds little historical accuracy, usually for the sake of making the film seem more interesting than the reality it's based on, and by extension, possibly drawing in larger crowds and making more money at the box office.
Such extensive artistic liberties were taken with Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette" that it was booed at Cannes.

When George Hickenlooper was questioned as to why his '06 film, "Factory Girl", had been panned so severely by Warhol scholars, he spoke of his artistic liberties taken with the film.

filter artist

A person who takes pictures, runs them through a filter in Photoshop, and calls it their art. They generally mass-produce pictures this way without any talent whatsoever. A shame to real artists everywhere.
"Look! I took this photo of a tree and made it so it looks like I drew it! It's art! I'm awesome!"
"No, it's not. You're just a stupid filter artist."
