Abstract
In a descriptive study of the audio description (AD) of film language, the techniques used by describers to transpose film language into AD are examined and a functional classification of audio description techniques is proposed. Following this functional approach, a strategical framework for the creation of AD styles is developed, within which three AD styles are defined: a conventional, denotative AD style and two interpretative styles, cinematic AD and narrative AD. Relying on contributions from the field of Film Studies, the hypothesis is emitted that interpretative AD can offer a better film experience than conventional AD and the three AD styles are put to test in an empirical study with blind and partially sighted participants. Results suggest that all three AD styles offer a satisfactory access to film but that access to emotional and aesthetical aspects is better catered for with both interpretative AD styles than with conventional AD.
