Course Content
After
a definition and a survey of the different types of subtitles, the
interaction between text and images will be discussed and you will
learn about the technical issues
that constrain subtitling in terms of time and space. We will then take
a look at the different conventions applied in what is considered
standard practice in interlingual subtitling, and examples of strategies
such as segmentation, condensation and reformulation
will be offered.
During
this practical workshop, you will work with clips and will carry out
some of the tasks pertaining to subtitling, like the spotting or cueing
(i.e. deciding the in and
out times of the different subtitles) as well as the actual translation
of the clip following the appropriate limitations imposed by the
medium. WinCAPS, a state-of-the-art professional subtitling program,
will be demonstrated so that you can experience the
technical and technological dimensions of subtitling.
An
insight into the working environment will also be presented and some
time will be left at the end for questions. A list of useful websites
and other sources of information
will be given to all the participants.
Course Trainer: Adriana Tortoriello
