Red Links will only work for me when signed in to my account.
Blue Links are universal and should work for you.
Burgundy links need a password, which you will have if you are in my class.

We will look at writing a commentary about subtitling today.
You should be able to access the PPT on Moodle
Then, you should aim to finish the section(s) you are working on for either of the files you have subtitled. Then you have something to construct a commentary about, should you wish.

You should now be very familiar with the software Aegissub.
You have been working on a documentary on the English Channel (La Manche) or Wild Ireland. You will have been subtitling from the ST to TT in your L2 (your weaker language).
Today, you can show me your progress on your subtitles. You were asked to complete this week's video, taking the feedback you've received from your peer into account.
I have sourced two new videos for a final practice run before your assessment is set. Remember, you will subtitle into your L2 for this assessment.
mardi, 4 février - 3 pm
The idea here is to familiarise yourselves with Aegissub.
Use this clip to test out Aegisub for yourselves... Remember the style guides for how subtitles generally work best.

BBC Subtitling style guide (use for comparison of ideas)

Regarding Cormeilles
Imagining you had to write a commentary ...
How was the translation?
Who might your text be aimed at? (Audience/Purpose)
How confident are you that yours would read like a text written for an Anglophone?
What were the difficulties?
What did you do to solve the issue?
What theory could relate to this?
What can you conclude overall?
This photo blog may help picture some of the places in Cormeilles.
My few photos taken on 01.08.13 in 37C temperatures.
If all is complete and we are happy with our 'top copy', how would you have translated the text from this video (below)?
That must have been done by someone who thinks they know English rather than a bonafide translator (I hope at least).
It is a challenge.
What about this extract from a school children's holiday brochure? Can you put it into English and upload the translations to the shared folder?
Or, for a bit of cultural research and translation of an aural text, how would you translate the message in this news bulletin from TF1 about Halloween in France into English?
