Proposta de LSE para o curta-metragem Não abra jamais

Abstract

Music and noises (sound effects) in audiovisual productions take an essential role in building the movie atmosphere and arousing in the viewers a variety of emotions by combining the visual and acoustic channels. In thriller/horror movies, in particular, sound effects can be used to build narrative suspense and cause tension and fear in the viewers. However, the Deaf and Hard-ofHearing viewers can only access the movie information through the visual channel, which mighcompromise their full understanding of the work. Based on this matter, the present study aims at proposing an SDH for the thriller/horror short movie Não Abra Jamais (Never open it), considering the relevance of its soundtrack to build the movie environment and suspense. The subtitle was created with the Subtitle Workshop, version 6.0b and the entire subtitling process was recorded in audio and video while the subtitler verbalized about his choices, so he could have access to the arising reflections afterward. Discussions were led by linking the specific suspense movies bibliography to the one focused on translation of soundtrack. This strategy allowed noticing the importance of considering the uniqueness of each cinematography gender when translating their soundtracks into words. Thus, the issues raised in this work are expected to foster discussions in Accessible Audiovisual Translation, as well as to be useful for subtitlers who work or come to work with thriller/horror movies
