Voice over for trailer
A trailer basically represents any promoted product’s video extraction. It has structure, plot, audio track etc. As long as trailers pursue advertising aim, they make it to international audience in most cases. It means a trailer would have translation and additional voiceover performed by a foreign speaker in addition to original audio track.
Specific features of video clips
Aimed at delivering visual appeal and attracting attention, trailers have certain peculiarities. They typically consist of multiple pieces that change quickly and often have little relation to each other in order to stick to people’s memory. Such a footage of the trailer often demonstrates the advertised media product directly. That’s why international viewers might see various confusing names, indications or captions. Let alone comic trailers or videos involving national color!
Dealing with details
Localization represents thorough trailer adaptation with an aim to make international audience understand the general idea and grasp the finest points of every single shot. Thus, voiceover, subtitles, brand titles, streets and other indications that might seem insignificant at first glance, need to be translated. At the same time, you’ve got to consider cultural and social context of the country that you want to work in. Everything matters here, even accents and dialects!
Who to contact?
An outsider who speaks a foreign language but doesn’t know linguistic environment from within would find it hard to consider every single detail and provide accurate translation of everything that appears on the screen in the trailer. Proper name for a movie release deserves a special mention! The thing is, word-by-word translation does not have to be the right choice, considering fragile world of artistic reality. So you’d better not entrust a translation agency with a task to perform localization.
- Movie trailers, requiring additional localization for communication of characters in social networks, demonstration of movie reviews from the audience, critics, etc.;
