Everyone’s Using Subtitles – The Fascinating Reasons Why!
In case you haven’t noticed, there appears to be a subtitle revolution, with current research showing that as many as 61% of us are using subtitles regularly. And that number is rapidly growing! Really, no really!
Everyone hasn’t suddenly become hard of hearing, so why are subtitles suddenly becoming the norm? This global entertainment trend is transforming the way we watch television and movies…and content creators secretly admit there is a problem that necessitates subtitles! So, we had to unravel the reasons why more of us are opting for on screen text.
To help us explain the subtitle takeover, Jason and Peter enlisted the services of film researcher and producer Ed Vega, who specializes in - as his bio says - all things cinema, from the intricacies of film history to the nuts and bolts of filmmaking AND prolific dialogue editor and sound designer Austin Olivia Kendrick whose notable work includes - Star Trek Discovery, the HBO series Barry, Monster High, Rugrats, Transformers: Earthspark among many others.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- The pros and cons of using subtitles.
- How today’s actor’s vocal performances differ from those in the past. Generational reasons and differences in subtitle use.
- Why the 1970’s era -inferior technology- seemed to work better.
- Do modern TVs really have speakers facing the wrong way?
- Is A.I. the answer to better sound mixing?
- Wait…competing streaming services have no audio standards!
- What about the George Lucas created THX?
- Which do we prefer in foreign language movies-Dubbed or subtitled?
- Have subtitles and audio descriptions made entertainment more accessible?
- How Jason accidentally watched the original Squid Game.
- Googleheim: Other cutting-edge technologies that have made life worse!
