| Abstract(in English) | The presences of cinema and television are indispensable in enriching our daily lives and in supplementing cultural activities. However, with the super aging society in Japan accelerating and the number of people with various physical characteristics (such as hearing or visual impairment) on the increase, there still lacks a substantial system that allows these people to enjoy these contents that serves as one of the ways of enriching their daily lives. Until now, film directors and producers, subtitle creators, audio descriptors, people with disabilities, welfare participants, and the authours have come together to discuss research and issues regarding concerning how cinemas should be presented so anyone can enjoy them with or without disabilities. In the process of that, it became clear that subtitling for hearing-impaired people is insufficient in that, domestic films usually do not come with subtitle data as in the case of foreign films in Japan and when it comes to animations even lip-reading becomes useless, resulting thus in the still high barrier that prevents hearing-impaired people from enjoying cinemas. With an aim to reexamine cinema subtitling for hearing-impaired people used until now, a questionnaire survey was conducted under this study at workshops and a film festival showcasing subtitles created by film producers, with people both with and without hearing disabilities as survey subjects. |
