Dubbing (filmmaking)

Dubbing, mixing, or re-recording is a post-production process used in filmmaking and video production in which additional or supplementary recordings are "mixed" with original production sound to create the finished soundtrack.

The process usually takes place on a dub stage. After sound editors edit and prepare all necessary tracks (dialogue, automated dialogue replacement (ADR), effects, Foley, and music), the dubbing mixer or mixers proceed to balance all of the elements and record the finished soundtrack. Dubbing is sometimes confused with ADR, also known as "additional dialogue replacement", "additional dialogue recording", and "looping", in which the original actors re-record and synchronize audio segments.

Outside the film industry, the term "dubbing" most commonly refers to the replacement of the voices of the actors shown on the screen with those of different performers speaking another language, which is called "revoicing" in the film industry.

Origins

In the past, dubbing was practiced primarily in musicals when the actor had an unsatisfactory singing voice. Today, dubbing enables the screening of audiovisual material to a mass audience in countries where viewers do not speak the same language as the performers in the original production.

Lola (1981 film)

Lola is a 1981 West German film directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, and is the third in his BRD Trilogy. The first film in the trilogy is The Marriage of Maria Braun (BRD 1) and the second is Veronika Voss (BRD 2).

Plot

In 1957–1958 in Coburg, in post-World War II West Germany, Schuckert (Mario Adorf) is a local construction entrepreneur whose methods of gaining wealth include shady business practices such as bribing the local officials. His latest scheme, to erect a building with a large basement for a brothel is endangered with the arrival of von Bohm (Armin Mueller-Stahl), a high-minded building commissioner.

Von Bohm tries to institute gradual change of the system from within, rather than exposing the participants, and suggests that Schuckert builds three additional storeys (allowing Schuckert to make significantly more money) on the aforementioned building instead of just a cellar. Meanwhile he falls in love with a beautiful woman named Lola (Barbara Sukowa), who has a child named Mariechen with Schuckert and whose mother works as Von Bohm's housekeeper ("Haushaelterin"). Lola had initially heard of Von Bohn from Schuckert, and then from her mother. When visiting her mother at Von Bohm's house one day, Lola is struck by a Ming vase and her mother tells her that Von Bohn goes to the local library weekly to read about East Asian antiques. Lola made a concerted effort to seduce Von Bohn by reading in the East Asian section of the local library. They are attracted to each other, and von Bohm starts thinking of marriage, going so far as to buy an engagement ring for Lola and eloping with her. However, Lola then sends him a letter saying that she wants to break up. Von Bohm finds out that she is a cabaret singer and prostitute in the town brothel, where most of von Bohm's adversaries are her clients, and that she is the "personal toy" of Schuckert, and he collects evidence against Schuckert to expose the corruption.
