Overview:
This video includes four different audio subtitled excerpts

Different professionals were given the same content to audio describe,
but they all took a different approach.
You can access all the videos on the VIW project website,

Audio subtitles 1
Now, a woman speaks on a cell.
Subtitles: No, I couldn't. I have to finish, really.
She gazes up.
No! What are you talking about? Of course yes, our luggage is ready.
The woman furrows her brow. She looks around again.
Listen, I cannot talk right now. I have to leave you.
Words appear: Zoé, the next one.
Audio subtitles 2
A young black woman is on the phone as she sorts through her washing.
No, I couldn't, I have to finish, really. No, what are you talking about?
Of course, yes, our luggage is ready.
She looks up towards the sound.
Listen, I can't talk right now, I have to leave you.
In white letters, Zoé, the next one.
Audio subtitles 3
Blackout, then a woman with black dreadlocks
hanging washing on a rooftop.
She says into her phone, "No, I couldn't. I have to finish, really.
No!
What are you talking about?
Of course, yes, our luggage is ready..."
Looking about with a frown she says,
"Listen, I cannot talk right now.
I have to leave you."
Onscreen: Zoé, the next one.
Audio subtitles 4
The screen goes black.
A young woman, her mobile phone pressed to her ear.
Subtitle: No, I couldn't. I have to finish, really.
She hangs washing on a line.
Title: No! What are you talking about? Of course, yes, our luggage is ready.
She turns at the high-pitched sound.
Title: Listen, I can't talk right now.
She ends the call, looking around, frowning.
