Subtitling: Intensive Course

London Met invests in you: from our purpose-built newsroom to our state-of-the-art superlab, we aim to create a stimulating and unique learning environment for our students. Our courses have received top marks from the UK's Quality Assurance Agency and many are accredited by a wide range of professional bodies. Our lecturers are leaders in their field: in the latest Research Assessment Exercise, over two-thirds of the University’s research output was judged to be world-leading, internationally excellent or internationally recognised.

We go the extra mile with our investment. We do this through our five-star promise, our pledge to connect our students with opportunities to boost their career skills. We put employability at the heart of our curriculum through helping you find placements, work experience and voluntary opportunities across a wide variety of organisations.

The course consists of three sessions running on the 22, 23 and 24 June 2016. The three sessions will be based mainly on presentations and discussions on technical, linguistic and cultural issues related to subtitling.

Some time will be also dedicated to a demonstration of the main functions of the subtitling software (Swift). More emphasis will be put on this towards the end of the course, which will be focused on the actual use of Swift. The activities will be aimed at becoming familiar with spotting (ie. determining when a subtitle should appear on, and disappears from the screen), timing (determining the exact time codes based upon the spotting), and reading speed.
