Movies for those with visual impairments screened in NE China
Updated : 2019-10-17
It usually takes five-to-seven narrators for each presentation. Sometimes when they choose a movie that is adapted from a novel, they will read the original works, trying to figure out what the author and director want to convey to the audience.
Liu Jianze, a sophomore journalism student, described his first time as a narrator. "There is more happiness than nervousness," he said. "I felt quite proud and touched to see the visually impaired enjoying the film with our help."
"As narrators, we should not only read the lines simply, but also pay attention to the figures' emotions," said Liu. "Furthermore, it is important to control our volume clearly as well as avoid interferences in the audience's imagination of the movie."
Xu Xiubin, a 62-year-old with a visual impairment, came to the library after a one-hour journey. "Only after watching the same film several times, we can tell the story in detail, including the environment, scenes, characters' psychology and their expressions," he said. "Then the film is screened after two or three trial runs."
"In the past three years, I seldom missed the movies that presented on the third Friday every month," he said. "The volunteers carefully selected and prepared the movies suitable for us, bringing us lots of pleasure in life."
