Found in Translation: writing subtitles for the movies
This workshop will examine the nuts and bolts of subtitling fiction and documentary films. After a brief introduction presenting the raw material (spotting list and dialogue list as well as image) from which a subtitler works, the constraints it imposes on the translation process, and the types of problems encountered, we will tackle some concrete examples drawn from feature films, shorts and documentaries shot in French and subtitled in English. A command of French is helpful but not essential.
