Objectivity is a constant recommendation in audio description (AD)
guidelines. However, some scholars have pointed to the advantages of
a more subjective, creative, or narrative rendition. In this paper, we
seek to determine to what extent subjectivity and objectivity coexist in
Spanish filmic AD. In order to fulfil our aim, we operationalised
objectivity by means of multimodal analysis based on Chaume’s (2004)
classification of meaning codes. To operationalise objectivity through
multimodality, we employed a qualitative content analysis and
examined whether visual and acoustic information was rendered
objectively or subjectively in a corpus of four Spanish AD scripts from
Netflix. Our results show, firstly, that objectivity and subjectivity
interact in the mobility, iconographic, and editing codes. Moreover,
dissimilarities arise in the way these meaning codes are described in
Spanish: movement is mainly described objectively, whereas
iconography and editing are rendered either subjectively or objectively.
In conclusion, we can state that neither is objectivity systematically
applied in our AD scripts, nor is a purely narrative AD to be found, but
rather a mixture of both coexists. Furthermore, this coexistence seems
unequal, since different tendencies can be identified in the way that
movement, editing, and iconography are described. [-]
