MDL609   Theory and Practice of Subtitling   (15 credits)

Description

This module aims to introduce students to the main theories of screen translation and to give them the opportunity to apply them in practical subtitling/dubbing tasks. By the end of the module we expect that students will be able to: i) Understand the constraints of screen translation; ii) Relate theory to practice in practical subtitling or dubbing projects using professional subtitling/dubbing software; and iii) Use subtitling/dubbing software to produce subtitles/dubbing scripts to appropriate standards.
