EASIT. Easy Access
for Social Inclusion Training.

2
00:00:12,069 --> 00:00:14,500
This is Unit 3A.

3
00:00:14,939 --> 00:00:17,378
Easy to Understand
and subtitling.

4
00:00:17,775 --> 00:00:20,540
Element 2.
Linguistics aspects.

00:00:21,032 --> 00:00:21,884
Other video:

6
00:00:22,185 --> 00:00:26,829
Sample 8: subtitles from
the Multiplier Event in Hildesheim.

7
00:00:27,493 --> 00:00:29,321
My name is Piero Cavallo

8
00:00:29,712 --> 00:00:34,165
and I have prepared this video
in collaboration with Rocío Bernabé Caro

9
00:00:34,603 --> 00:00:39,126
on behalf of the Internationale Hochschule
SDI München, in Germany.

10
00:00:39,782 --> 00:00:44,138
This video will show a clip made
by EASIT representatives

11
00:00:44,439 --> 00:00:46,353
of the University of Hildesheim.

12
00:00:47,103 --> 00:00:51,165
The video was shot on the occasion of
the 3rd Multiplier Event

13
00:00:51,657 --> 00:00:54,071
that took place in Hildesheim,
in Germany

14
00:00:54,517 --> 00:00:57,509
on February 13th, 2020.

15
00:00:58,470 --> 00:01:01,657
The video is in German,
as well as the subtitles.

16
00:01:02,103 --> 00:01:05,770
Therefore, we can use this short video
as a practical example

17
00:01:06,071 --> 00:01:10,493
on the use of Easy-to-Understand language
in intralingual subtitles.

18
00:01:11,290 --> 00:01:14,309
Before showing the video,
allow me to drive your attention

19
00:01:14,610 --> 00:01:18,126
to some characteristics
of the subtitles in this video.

20
00:01:19,915 --> 00:01:20,880
As you will see,

21
00:01:21,181 --> 00:01:26,282
the video presents an alternative
visual presentation of subtitles

22
00:01:26,642 --> 00:01:32,540
to the standard of Subtitles for the Deaf
and Hard-of-Hearing (in short, SDH)

23
00:01:32,860 --> 00:01:35,407
and the recommendations by
Inclusion Europe.

24
00:01:36,228 --> 00:01:41,181
For instance, the subtitles are not
in the lower bottom part of the video.

25
00:01:41,845 --> 00:01:46,017
In fact, they are
in the central-right area of the video.

26
00:01:46,829 --> 00:01:51,212
Even if the Easy-to-Read guidelines
published by Inclusion Europe

27
00:01:51,618 --> 00:01:55,165
recommend to position subtitles
on the bottom of the screen,

28
00:01:55,634 --> 00:01:58,392
this could also be
an alternative option.

29
00:01:59,525 --> 00:02:01,450
As you will see in the video,

30
00:02:01,751 --> 00:02:04,900
the speakers are on
the left part of the screen.

31
00:02:05,673 --> 00:02:10,673
So, positioning the subtitles
in the central-right area of the video,

32
00:02:11,353 --> 00:02:15,962
allows to cover
that unused portion of the video

33
00:02:16,532 --> 00:02:20,790
and to not overlay
the speaker herself or himself.

34
00:02:22,017 --> 00:02:26,872
This also explains
why sometimes the number of lines

35
00:02:27,173 --> 00:02:30,180
of subtitles is 3 instead of 2.

36
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:35,419
Nonetheless, you can notice
that the position of the subtitles

37
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,517
remains the same throughout
the whole video.

38
00:02:40,118 --> 00:02:43,923
This implementation follows
the recommendation by Inclusion Europe.

39
00:02:45,259 --> 00:02:48,376
Also, there is not a subtitling box.

40
00:02:48,915 --> 00:02:53,466
This can also be a possibility,
especially in cases like this one,

41
00:02:53,767 --> 00:02:58,040
where it can be ensured
a sufficient contrast ratio

42
00:02:58,415 --> 00:03:00,106
throughout the whole video.

43
00:03:00,993 --> 00:03:06,329
Currently, there are no subtitle guidelines
for Easy-to-Understand subtitles yet

44
00:03:06,892 --> 00:03:09,493
that are based on empirical research.

45
00:03:09,978 --> 00:03:14,860
That is why all these alternatives
should also be considered and researched.

46
00:03:15,735 --> 00:03:18,321
As for now,
many thanks for your attention.
