Hjelp, hva har jeg gjort?đŸ˜±

God ettermiddag, kjĂŠre leser.

English below

Det er en overgang Ă„ begynne Ă„ studere igjen – og har jeg fĂžrst startet er det bare Ă„ fortsette. Jeg har en del praktiske og motoriske utfordringer i forbindelse med studiet. Blant annet lese- og skrivevansker. Da jeg leste at et av kriteriene var kunnskap om audiovisuelle konvensjoner, tenkte jeg at jeg burde nok forklare fagansvarlig litt om mine synsmessige utordringer i tillegg til de fysiske utordringene.

Audiovisuelle konvensjoner er uskrevne regler, vaner og tradisjoner for hvordan lyd og bilde settes sammen for Ă„ skape mening, styre publikums fĂžlelser og fortelle en historie.

HĂžrselen min er det ingen problemer med, men er veldig glad for at det fins verktĂžy som kan fortelle meg hva som er i bildet.

PÄ forrige forelesning var James Camerons Oscarvinnende Titanic fra 1997 med Kate Winslet og Leonardo DiCaprio pÄ pensum. Da satt jeg med headsett pÄ PC, ettersom filmen vi skulle gÄ igjennom har synstolkning inne pÄ Disney+. Dette kunne jeg da bruke til Ä fÞlge med pÄ underveis. Bildet under viser hvordan dette fungerer.

Inne pÄ tannhjulet fÄr man opp innstillinger for lyd og teksting. Under lydalterantiver kan man velge «English [Audio Description]» for Ä fÄ en stemme til Ä beskrive hva som er i bildet. For eksempel beskrives ansiktuttrykk, og andre detaljer.

I den velkjente scenen pÄ bildet er dette noen av synstolkningene som et eksempel:

«They both step on to the lowest run of the railing»
«Standing behind her, Jack lifts Rose’s hands up from the railing and holds her arms up like wings. Wind blows her shawl back from her outstretched arms.»

Rett etter filmen fant jeg en dokumentar, Waking the Titanic, der etterkommere av passasjerer ble intervjuet og deres historier om dramatikken ble fortalt. Der var det dessverre ikke synstolkning, men intervjuene var gode og lette Ä fÞlge med pÄ.

Liten anbefaling fra meg om hvordan man kan fÄ med seg mye mer av filmer om man har nedsatt syn av en eller annen Ärsak!

Good afternoon, dear reader.

It is quite an adjustment to start studying again — and once I have started, I might as well keep going. I have a number of practical challenges connected to my studies, including reading and writing difficulties. When I read that one of the criteria was knowledge of audiovisual conventions, I thought I should probably explain to the professor about my visual challenges, in addition to my physical challenges.

Audiovisual conventions are unwritten rules, habits, and traditions for how sound and images are put together to create meaning, guide the audience’s emotions, and tell a story.

I have no problems with my hearing, but I am very grateful that there are tools that can tell me what is happening in an image.

In the previous lecture, James Cameron’s Oscar-winning Titanic from 1997, starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, was on the syllabus. I sat with headphones on at my computer, since the film we were going to go through has audio description available on Disney+. I was therefore able to use this to follow along. The image below shows how it works.

In the settings menu, you can access options for audio and subtitles. Under the audio options, you can select “English [Audio Description]” to have a voice describe what is happening on screen. For example, it describes facial expressions and other details.

In the well-known scene shown in the image, these are a couple of examples of the audio descriptions:

“They both step on to the lowest run of the railing.”

“Standing behind her, Jack lifts Rose’s hands up from the railing and holds her arms up like wings. Wind blows her shawl back from her outstretched arms.”

Right after the film, I found a documentary called Waking the Titanic, in which descendants of passengers were interviewed and their stories about the tragedy were told. Unfortunately, there was no audio description available, but the interviews were good and easy to follow.

Just a little recommendation from me on how you can get much more out of films if you have reduced vision for one reason or another!
