I watched some of the Human Planet DVD earlier in the week to prepare some materials on DESERTS, and accidentally put the AUDIO DESCRIPTION on.
I was watching a programme on Deserts, and had forgotten about that until it started to describe the scenes where there is no other soundtrack or voice over describing what was happening....
e.g. a long line of camels walks slowly across a sand dune, led by three men in blue clothing... the camera moves back and upwards to reveal a huge expanse of desert sands...
It occured to me that this might be an appropriate way for students to use a DVD. Rather than relating to the existing script, they need to explain what can be seen - which perhaps is the most useful reason for using a video of course...
