近日,中国动画电影《哪吒之魔子之诞生》(2019)的特别版在台湾一家养老院上映,视力受损的老人可以“看”这部电影。
该版本由光明电影院制作,光明电影院是中国传媒大学与北京歌华有线电视网、东方嘉映电视电影传媒有限公司于2017年联合发起的一项公益活动。
“光明”这个名字,在中文中是“明亮”的意思,反映了它让视障观众更容易接触到电影的使命。
27岁的李一颖(音译)是中国传媒大学的一名学生志愿者,她于2018年加入了这个项目。她解释说,无障碍电影的特点是对视觉元素进行音频描述,在对话停顿和音效中添加音频描述。
据她介绍,光明电影院的志愿者大多来自中国大学电视学院。该团队已从最初的30名成员发展到今天的800多名成员。
制作一部无障碍电影包括几个步骤:从版权库中选择一部电影,编写音频描述脚本,录制旁白,审查内容,并让视障观众进行测试。整个过程通常需要28天左右,涉及至少三名学生和两名教师。
对于许多志愿者来说,制作一部通俗易懂的电影最困难的部分是编写音频描述。“电影是一种艺术,一幅画胜过千言万语。很难在不破坏电影节奏的情况下,将简洁、准确的叙述融入配乐的短暂停顿中。”

刚开始的时候,她花了一整天的时间来写一个五分钟的片段。为了确保准确性,她暂停了电影3000多次来回顾场景。
悬疑电影的剧情描述要求更高,因为要避免剧透至关重要。
“我想确保,即使视障观众看不见屏幕,我们的叙述仍然能捕捉到电影的情感和氛围,提供一种与视力正常的观众相匹配的体验,”李说。
对于28岁的李朝鹏来说,他最大的挑战是为科幻和奇幻电影写描述,因为这需要描述远远超出日常经验的场景。
在制作动画电影《大鱼海棠》(2016)期间,他进行了广泛的研究,以准确描述电影中的奇幻生物,其中许多生物的灵感来自中国古代名著《山海经》。这些古老而富有想象力的生物需要生动而详细的叙述。
李超鹏惊喜地发现,视障观众也很喜欢奇幻电影。“无论是视力正常还是视障人士,每个人在观看这类电影时都创造了自己想象的世界。我们都有幻想的能力,”他说。

24岁的陈中瑞(音译)回忆起一次看完电影后,一个先天失明的女孩问她的母亲:“红色是什么颜色?”这个问题让他意识到,在将视觉元素转化为无障碍电影的音频时,更加关注细节的重要性。
例如,他现在通过其他感官知觉来描述“红色”,比如热的温暖,或者激情和害羞等情绪,只要合适。
“看到视障观众完全理解我们创作的电影,我感到非常满意,”陈说。
改变世界
中国传媒大学教师、光明电影院志愿者赵希静(音)指出,该团队目前每年制作104部无障碍电影。这使得中国的视障人士每周可以看两部电影,达到甚至超过正常人的观看频率。
这些电影通过硬盘或云存储在全国范围内发行,到达电影院、电影节、社区和公益团体。该网络覆盖全国2244所特殊教育学校,为全国23个省、5个自治区、4个直辖市和澳门的视障受众提供服务。
2022年,光明电影院开始在有线电视上提供电影,使视障人士更容易在家中观看无障碍电影。
“我们想让无障碍电影成为视障观众日常生活的一部分,”赵说。

李超鹏回忆起在电影放映会上遇到一位视障母亲和她的儿子。这位母亲解释说,在失明后,她很难找到与家人讨论的话题,经常感到孤立。然而,在光明电影院,她能够像她的儿子一样享受电影。
李超鹏说:“我们所做的事情看似简单,但它为观众提供了一种互动和社交的方式,帮助他们感觉与世界更紧密地联系在一起。”
今天,光明电影院的志愿者们不仅让电影更容易被观看;他们还在努力推广信息无障碍的概念,以便更好地与视障人士接触。
为了实现这一目标,光明影院不断提高影院的可达性,并倡导标准化的电影技术。例如,受他们努力的启发,中国著名导演贾樟柯在2019年全国人民代表大会上提出了发展无障碍电影产业。
此外,《关于为盲人、视障者或其他印刷品阅读障碍者获得已出版作品提供便利的马拉喀什条约》于2022年5月在中国生效,为无障碍电影的制作和推广提供了更多机会。
“这段光明之旅也是一段打破障碍的旅程,”李依颖说。“我们希望这些通俗易懂的电影能帮助视障朋友们发现一个光明的世界。”
