Abstract: | This article aims to analyse existing audio descriptions of opening credit sequences to raise awareness at the function and role played by these brief film introductions. It will pave the way to suggest possible ways of dealing with the overload of information provided by the credits. The first section presents an overview of film credits: five main historical phases are identified, and four categories are proposed. The manifold functions and constituents of opening credit sequences are also presented. The second section presents an analysis of a corpus of twenty opening film credits and highlights the various strategies adopted as well as the many problems faced by audio describers. |
