However, it is very painful to notice that a good number of works are marred by poor interpretations on the screen. On ways to make our movies leave up to its biddings, the President/Founder of Eko International Film Festival , Hope Obioma Opara, observed that many of the blunders noticed on screen are mostly done on movies produced and directed locally and for local consumption, adding that Nigeria has very good editors that are known for doing excellent jobs and being part of the productions that have produced very good films across the globe.
The theatre teacher said it is not enough to have talent and dexterity to operate video editing software or assume the role of a subtitler , because subtitling requires some cognitive process. The officer must have the capacity to read and write, and interpret connotations, which must not be taken for granted.
He noted that reading wrong subtitles or listening to wrong interpretations of movie dialogues do have negative effect on people, making them to unconsciously switch off from watching such productions. The President, Oreofe Films and Multimedia Studios, and Founder, City of Talents, Ibadan, Oreofe Williams noted that the flub is a misrepresentation of filmmakers’ and editors’ intellectual strand before the international community, stressing that they depict that movie makers are linguistically shallow.
