Z obrazu na słowo. Kilka uwag o technice audiodeskrypcji


Abstrakt:

From picture to word. A few remarks on the technique of audio description. Audio
description involves recounting (without interpretation and commentary) what
is happening, for example, in a film or a theater play, in dialogues between characters,
but it also attempts to describe the space, e.g.: monuments or works of art.
Translation of visual content into words, or otherwise, verbal description of visible
layers of plays, audiovisual productions, art and entertainment events makes them
available to the blind and visually impaired as well as to those with poor eyesight.
Audio description has been cultivated in Europe since the 1980s. Since 2006, it has
been popularized in Poland too. In the sketch, we refer to the essence of audio description
providing an overview of the history and discussing the basic workshop
rules as well as its role culture promotion.
