Thanks in advance guys :)

Yes, there are quite a few differences. Especially with how the ending unfolds among others.
Quite often there's crucial changes to the wording too, a few words different in a quote and you get quite a different interpretation.
As you would know, books/plays etc. have a lot of small details which you only really pick up from reading it. You might end up interpreting the tone/delivery of the lines to be fairly different to how the filmmaker interpreted it too.

Try not to pay too much attention to Abigail in relevant scenes to Act 2 I believe. Especially when she is in the woods with John Proctor, this never happens in the play! A lot of her dialogue isn't true to the text either.

Yes. Watch the film if you are having trouble grasping the play but do not use anything from the film in your essays. Make sure you read the play. The film also has additional parts, so be wary of that.
