Vision on / sound off, & vice versa Working with script / subtitles / translation Split viewing Freeze framing … always an information gap “Active Viewing” (CLT 90s)
Authentic or inauthentic? Scriptedor unscripted? With Subtitles or without ? How short? Big questions...
Openings & Endings Meetings / Phone conversations Flashbacks / Dream sequences Trailers / Ads Voiceovers Tasks: Cinema
Semi-scripted vox-pops International “real-world”contexts/ language. More non-fiction, news clips, etc. Tie-ins with media companies: BBC, Reuters, National Geographic, etc. VHS, DVD, Vodcasts – Integrated or add-on? Online video: streamable or downloadable or both? Video in Coursbeooks
