Soluções visuais atípicas em vídeos digitais em línguas de sinais: proposta de um catálogo para os produtores de vídeo

The expansion of sign languages in digital spaces is recent. This growth is partly due to the increasingly accessible means of video production (cameras and video editing software), and the large-scale storage and access resources through online digital video repositories that have risen in fifteen years. In addition to the interpreter's window and the yellow captions , aiming to contribute to new productions, the article presents the mapping of 13 innovative visual solutions based on the analysis undertaken by the research group “Education, media and deaf community” of 24 digital videos in which sign language is predominant. Among the distinguishing marks of these visual solutions are (1) the original variation of one or more properties of the basic elements of the visual composition, (2) the original relationship of the basic element with some information that would only be identified by a non-deaf person and (3) the emphases that visually complement both feelings and information expressed by the actor / interpreter, whether signaling or verbalizing. We hope that with this detail, in addition to new research on unusual visual solutions, these that we have mapped will also be replicated in future video productions aimed at the deaf community.
