 Cinema For All: Part 2

An eye-opening anecdote

People are usually motivated by personal experience as a catalyst for universal change. Miguel Ángel Font Bisier admits he is not an agent of change who has personally been affected by any disability either through family members or his social bubble.

No, his defining moment was a result of a meeting with a deaf attendee at a film festival in San Diego 10 years ago. Admittedly, due to budget constraints and not thinking it would be selected for festival content, he had decided to shoot the film more as video art, abundant with visuals, few sound effects and complimenting music.

Cinema For All: Part 1

At its premiere, XMILE was screened featuring SDH. By Sergio López.

How many of us have gone to the cinema to watch a film that included subtitles for audience members who were hearing impaired?

Clearly, I had to find a production company to join the project.

9: THE ACCESSIBILITY REPORT

What exactly is this Accessibility Report?

Image 60: Fernando Villamanta, Whatscine’s CEO, reading the Accessibility Report.

An Accessibility Report is a memo that includes all the information that accessibility companies may need in order to create the project’s audio description and subtitles for the Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing (SDH).

It contains different texts written by the film’s creative team: Director, producer, cinematographer, art director, costume designer, sound designer and music composer. Each one of them briefly shares the information necessary to properly represent their artistic work in the audio description and in the SDH.

There is also a film’s technical aspects sheet and a glossary section. With these, we make sure that the accessibility professionals use the same lexicon as the film’s creators. This establishes a much better dialogue between creators and the companies, saving a lot of time and improving the quality of work.
