Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This module aims to introduce students to audiovisual translation, media accessibility and relevant technologies. It offers an overview of main audiovisual translation practices, and hands-on practice and guidance on topics such as interlingual subtitling, monolingual subtitling for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing or audio description. Using dedicated technology, the students will have an overview of the audiovisual translation market, and the opportunity of familiarising themselves with relevant software while undertaking practical exercises with selected media resources.
On completion of this module, students should be able to:
- describe the specific nature of audiovisual translation and media accessibility, in particular the way in which sound, image and linguistic components work together;
- display awareness of the linguistic, cultural, professional and political issues involved in these fields;
- display awareness of the constraints involved in AVT modes;
- demonstrate specific hands-on AVT skills, for examples text compression, spotting, editing;
- conform to and apply conventions of good practice;
- make informed choices on the basis of genre, purpose, and intended audience;
- use relevant software individually or in teams to complete tasks respecting a given brief;
- orient themselves in the specific research literature.
