After a definition and a brief introduction to the different types of audio descriptions

description to film, where image, sound and speech need to be perfectly understood
in order to be taken into account when an all encompassing aural equivalent (AD) is
in order.
You will be given the opportunity to see different approaches to the audio
description of film and will be taken through the fundamentals of audio description.
During this practical workshop, you will work with different materials that will
enhance your image reading skills and give you the basic tools needed to audio
describe moving images.
