Audiovisual collage and accessibility

SHARE:

This week I’ve been trying to bring more of my usual collage aesthetic into audio visual pieces and also thinking about what is the best way to make these as accessible as possible. Whether that’s through written visual descriptions of moving image pieces or through audio description or both.

Next week I would like to practice creating audio descriptions and research the best practice

Below is a still from one of the pieces I have been editing.

A sinister still from a film in a hospital hallway. With collages layers of vintage hospital images. Including a nurse who is at the centre the nurses face is covered in abstract burnt colours.
