AV Information
Audio Visual
AV short for Audio Visual, is another way to display images. This method is made up of a number of images shown individually with creative representations in displaying the images and in the transfer between images and accompanied by music which enhances the creative experience.
PSSA Definition of Audio Visual:
An Audio Visual (AV) is a compilation of still images, which may include movie/video clips, with an integrated theme or story line where audio, transitions and images are interdependent. An effective sequence will therefore have unity of the various elements, i.e.: the conception, the visuals, the audio, communication and technique. Artistic expression within it can take many forms and is only limited by the author’s imagination and creativity.
