ABSTRACT

The aim of this article is to question whether the approach to producing audio description in 2D films needs to be revisited for 360° narrative videos, a new media format characterized by its immersive capacity. A two-step research methodology was designed. First, an extensive literature review was performed. The data obtained during the first step was then used to design and conduct focus groups. The first part of the article discusses the findings from the literature review, comparing standard narratives with 360° narrative videos. It draws a number of conclusions for audio describers in relation to content selection, a key task in the translation of visuals into words. In the second part, data obtained from the focus groups held with describers and users is presented. The results suggest possible approaches to audio description for 360° content, such as the use of spatial sound and elements of interaction.

摘要

本文的目的是质疑在 2D 电影中制作音频描述的方法是否需要重新审视 360° 叙事视频，这是一种以沉浸式能力为特征的新媒体格式。设计了两步研究方法。首先，进行了广泛的文献回顾。然后使用在第一步中获得的数据来设计和开展焦点小组。文章的第一部分讨论了文献综述的发现，将标准叙事与 360° 叙事视频进行了比较。它为音频描述者得出了许多与内容选择相关的结论，这是将视觉效果翻译成文字的关键任务。在第二部分中，展示了从与描述者和用户举行的焦点小组中获得的数据。结果提出了对 360° 内容进行音频描述的可能方法，
