Subtitles

Subtitles

Words which are superimposed over a film which mirror the dialogue that is heard at the time. Most often subtitles are in a different language than that which is being spoken, but this is not always the case: Trainspotting uses subtitles for humourous effect. Contrast with dubbing, intertitles, close-captioned.
