Enhancing Audio Description II Implementing

项目摘要

The Enhancing Audio Description II project seeks to explore the potential of sound design practices and spatial audio to provide accessible film and television experiences for visually impaired audiences. The project proposes a new paradigm in accessible experiences, in which there is not an overreliance on a narrator's spoken word, as in traditional Audio Description practices. Instead it utilises new accessibility features that include: the addition of sound effects, the spatialisation of dialogue and sounding objects, and first-person narration, to provide accessible experiences that are seamlessly integrated to the soundtrack of a film or television programme. These techniques would be integrated into film and television workflows from the development phase up to final delivery. The project builds up from previous research which demonstrated the success of these methods, and explores them even further, by concentrating on the conveyance of cinematographic elements (such as types of shot, composition and camera angles) through sound, the exploration of the intricacies of using first-person narration across different genres and different cast sizes, as well as exploring how spatialisation techniques can be adapted for multi-listener scenarios for a variety of loudspeaker formats. The exploration of these methods will be conducted with an end-user centred approach, in which visually impaired audiences are consulted from the design process up to delivery. Furthermore, the project explores the creation of guidelines that will allow the incorporation of these methods to professional broadcasting pipelines and film workflows, by collaborating with a Project Advisory Panel representative of the different roles in film and television as well as end users. These guidelines will be explored through two newly broadcast episodes of television drama, one short documentary film and a feature film. Enhancing Audio Description II explores how new creative forms of accessibility can be made available through different reproduction formats (headphones/loudspeakers) alongside traditional access forms, allowing end users to choose the format that works best for them. This would result in personalised experiences that acknowledge the diversity in needs and preferences of visually impaired audiences. Enhancing Audio Description II fuses audio technology and creativity to widen the notion of media accessibility and increase the quality and quantity of provision, providing cutting edge techniques to the UK cultural sector.

“增强声音描述II”项目旨在探索声音设计实践和空间音频的潜力，为视障观众提供无障碍的电影和电视体验。该项目提出了一种新的无障碍体验模式，其中不像传统的音频描述实践那样过度依赖叙述者的口语。相反，它利用了新的无障碍功能，包括：增加声音效果，对话和发声对象的空间化，以及第一人称叙述，以提供无缝集成到电影或电视节目配乐中的无障碍体验。这些技术将被纳入电影和电视从开发阶段到最终交付的工作流程。该项目建立在以前的研究，证明了这些方法的成功，并进一步探索他们，通过集中在电影元素的传达（如镜头类型，构图和摄像机角度）通过声音，探索在不同类型和不同演员阵容中使用第一人称叙事的复杂性，以及探索空间化技术如何适用于各种扬声器格式的多听众场景。将采用以最终用户为中心的方法探索这些方法，从设计过程到交付都咨询视障观众。此外，该项目还与代表电影和电视中不同角色以及最终用户的项目咨询小组合作，探索制定准则，将这些方法纳入专业广播管道和电影工作流程。将通过两集新播出的电视剧、一部纪录短片和一部专题片探讨这些准则。Enhancing Audio Description II探索了如何通过不同的再现格式（耳机/扬声器）以及传统的访问形式提供新的创造性无障碍形式，允许最终用户选择最适合他们的格式。这将产生个性化的体验，承认视障观众的需求和偏好的多样性。增强音频描述II融合了音频技术和创造力，扩大了媒体可访问性的概念，提高了提供的质量和数量，为英国文化部门提供了尖端技术。
