Subtitling, audio description and dubbing for 2nd year undergraduates.

The clip below is the product of a 1 semester, 10 hour long lab module  with 2nd year undergraduate students. In groups of 3, students had to choose a video from YouTube on the theme of ‘Interview Techniques’/ ‘Aplying for jobs’, convert the video online, create subtitles, dubbing, multi-modal descriptions or audio descriptions.

Some students were a bit reluctant to delve into the technology whereas others found it easy and enjoyed it, though by the end of the process all of them would have learned how to subtitle, provide basic dubbing or audio description, and most importantly, would have made a glossary of terms on the themes of looking for jobs/ interviews.

Subtitling: Miriam Phillips
