Accessibility
Make essential visual details available through sound.
Describe the action, setting and visual information that dialogue alone does not convey, working within the available pauses.
Audio Description
Audio description selects visual information that a listener needs to follow the scene. Narration should explain significant action, location changes and visual cues while leaving space for dialogue and important sound.
Review considerations
Listen to the description with the complete programme audio. Check that essential information arrives in time, that the wording is clear and that narration does not obscure meaningful sound.
