@philgoddard: that is really funny. what are the chances! i have a few other questions, maybe you can help. i'll contact u directly.

In the bit I'm doing, the first word of the voiceover is "Landau", which is where the guy lives, and we see a street sign reading Welcome to Landau. This is described as an Antexter, so I think Steffen's "lead-in" works. Or you could say "establishing shot", though German usually uses the English term.

How weird... I'd never seen this word before in thirty years of translating, and then it popped up on ProZ and a job I'm doing, both on the same day. But I now realise it's because I'm doing the same job as you!

i think it only appears when each model builder speaks for the first time, i.e. they are introduced. usually, there is a presenter speaking, but then they speak.

Steffen Walter Jan 25, 2017:

Lead-in/intro piece Thank you for the additional information. I do think that these are brief lead-in/intro pieces to each of the model builders.

aykon (asker) Jan 25, 2017:

yes, it's a documentary about model building. different model builders are visited and they speak. might be, that the "antexter" only appears the first time when they are introduced. i'll check.

Steffen Walter Jan 25, 2017:

Documentary Does this refer to some sort of documentary?

Hey Aykon I only know the term from when a character is introduced, something like 'enter'. But it can also be that the character is writing an sms :-)
