AD means: Audio description is a mode of audiovisual translation (AVT), an intersemiotic,cross-modal or multi-modal translation activity that involves translating images into words. While a scriptwriter converts a text (a script) into images, the audio descriptor allows identifying parts from the images and turns them into a text that is spoken or read aloud in the pauses of the monologue (narrations) or between the dialogues.
According to good practices, the focus of the descriptions has to be on the scenery (place and time), the physical attributes of the characters (age, ethnical group, appearance, outfit, facial expressions, body language…) as well as their emotional state, and the actions (perception and movements). Given the lack of time, the descriptions must be precise, using very specific and accurate single words and multiword units to evoke the space, the time, objects, characters and actions. Depending on the photographic composition, larger elements are described before smaller ones, and moving elements before static ones. The chain of actions is mostly captured through syntactic and discursive focusing mechanisms in the audio described text.
