  • Hello I'm Jessica Kellgren-Fozard, welcome to the last in my series of videos

  • focusing on captions on YouTube and their importance, in celebration of

  • international week of the deaf.

  • In the first video I went through what captions are and why they're useful.

  • the second video is a quick breakdown of how to

  • actually add those captions to youtube videos. And the third was a run-through

  • of captioning do's and don'ts.

  • But, in this video I'm going to explain the secret world of captions,

  • what these things actually mean,

  • and a few YouTube tricks to give you a better experience as a viewer.

  • Welcome to the secret world of captions

  • Unlike subtitles, captions aren't just dialogue written on the screen.

  • If you're British and really confused we call both

  • captions and subtitles..'subtitles' because it's a thing.

  • They also need to give some clue about what those words actually mean.

  • I've played to this glossary from the many realms of the Internet

  • including the BBC guidelines for best practice in online captioning.

  • These are not the be-all and end-all rules of captioning however.

  • If there are any captioning rules or quirks you think I've missed

  • then please do leave them in the comments down below.

  • There are of exceptions to every rule and these will be different in different countries

  • I'm actually really intrigued to learn about captioning and other languages

  • so if you are from a different country and

  • English is not the language that you use please do let me know the kind of

  • captioning practices that you have in your country.

  • As I told you in the previous video

  • 80% of people who use captions are hearing

  • and 20% are deaf or hard-of-hearing

  • but if I say

  • or

  • we all know what I'm trying to say

  • the way you use captions is just as important as having them in the first place

  • because alternatives like plugging in earphones or waiting until you're not in

  • a crowded noisy space just don't exist for that 20%

  • and that's a really huge demographic to exclude

  • so let me help you decode the language of captions

  • and help you make the best ones you possibly can

  • I shall start with the exciting questions

  • like how to swear in captions

  • You already know the answer to this one

  • just mash a load of symbols together

  • like these, preferably with the same

  • number of characters as the swear word you're trying to replace

  • That's a grawlix

  • They're comical and nonsensical but alternatively, if you're not just trying

  • to amuse your viewer but instead escape the census

  • (cough) Algorithm

  • Simply write the first and last letters of the word

  • and use stars in between

  • Asterix!..

  • Astra..

  • Asterixis..

  • like so

  • 'Narration'

  • When used on TV or streaming services, narration is usually italicised

  • However we are talking about YouTube

  • where you can't control such a thing unless of course you've already created

  • a file off-site and then uploading it using the upload a file feature which I

  • talked to you about in video 2 which you've definitely watched

  • If you have a video that involves a narrator or a voiceover best practice would

  • probably be to name this with 'narrator'

  • at the start of whatever they're saying and

  • then their words

  • Which leads to

  • 'Change of Speaker'

  • Again this can be done just

  • by naming the voices at the start of their speech and then shortening them to

  • just an initial if they continue to be a back and forth

  • You could also use three greater than symbols

  • but I think the tidiest is just to use a hyphen

  • 'Words You Can't Hear'

  • So you're transcribing your vlog or someone else's and there's

  • the sentence that no matter how many times you bump up the volume and replay

  • you just cannot get.

  • Simply use brackets (indistinct) or brackets (unclear)

  • 'Style'

  • Captions display dialogue sound effects and music but also give it a good

  • information about them

  • For example

  • Some lyrics are delimited by either a musical note or

  • the pound sign that's not the Sterling sign it's this thing also known as the

  • number sign or the hash sign and now the hash tag

  • Forever

  • Put it at the start and end of the line

  • For a hashtag use the word

  • 'hashtag'

  • not the symbol

  • Because the person watching it may also believe

  • that symbol donates music so they're going to get very confused

  • Although they are on the internet

  • they managed to find their way here

  • so

  • maybe not.

  • But to save confusion, just you know write it out in full

  • Oh! However with the @ symbol you should use the @ symbol

  • because apparently that's less confusing.

  • 'Puns'

  • This will be obvious once you get it

  • But

  • Words don't always make sense if you've never heard words

  • Just because two words rhyme doesn't mean they look like they do

  • A double meaning of a sound isn't funny when you have to choose one of those

  • options to then write down on in the captions there's just no joke there

  • So, the best thing to do in that case is to write down the two things

  • or three things it could be and then put a slash in between

  • 'Rhetorical Questions'

  • In the same mode as sarcasm, either right out 'rhetorical'

  • or use the brackets (?) brackets

  • with no space between the last word and that bracket.

  • 'Incredulity'

  • If you're not sure whether to put a question mark or an exclamation mark

  • put both!

  • Use CAPS to indicate when the word is STRESSED

  • probably not that much

  • but you know don't ever use it either

  • You can also use it to indicate

  • when a word is SHOUTED or screamed

  • Sorry, didn't actually want to scream that.

  • There's a puppy asleep on my lap so..

  • Just put whisper at the front of the sentence in

  • caps because its direction and then a colon and then the words

  • or you can just use brackets to indicate an aside.

  • 'Accents'

  • If you suddenly say a sentence in

  • a different accent

  • she says not even trying

  • or you want to make a point of

  • where someone else in your video is from perhaps with a really strong southern accent

  • Use a label before the sentence

  • I suppose mine is going to say RP isn't it

  • 'Dramatic Effect'

  • If the joke is that what you're saying makes no sense

  • then type out so it makes no sense

  • but if the joke

  • is the way that it's said then just write that as well

  • like slurred or high pitched

  • for a pause within a sentence leave three dots immediately following the pause

  • ...

  • then continue immediately afterwards

  • ...

  • without leaving a space

  • 'Punchlines'

  • Do actually put the punchline in a different subtitle so I won't

  • accidentally read it before I've read the set up

  • Thank You!

  • 'Music'

  • Label any music you've added in post-production

  • with MUSIC in capital letters

  • then add the name of the song

  • along with the artist if you know it

  • If it's more mood music

  • like creepy Halloween time then use sound effect label

  • and a final grammar point sound labels described sounds alone

  • they are not stage directions

  • If I can see you shut the door just write

  • 'door shuts'

  • not

  • 'I shut the door'

  • And that's all I have for you

  • although this is in no way exhaustive

  • I hope you've enjoyed this video and you've learnt a lot

  • If you're new to my channel then please subscribe

  • Come and have a look at the other types of content I make

  • It would be great if we could get all YouTubers to caption their videos

  • So please share this series of videos with your favourites and give

  • love to these creators who are already captioning their stuff and just

  • generally being amazing
