Closed Captioning

Описание: Alt Text:
A video guide to closed captioning for the Common Senses Festival. The reel opens with the festival’s logo and icons. The title “A Guide to Closed Captioning” appears. A woman, identified as Louise, with light skin, wearing a black shirt and black jeans, introduces herself and explains the importance of closed captions for Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. The video then transitions to a screen recording of Instagram, where a yellow circle highlights the three-dot menu in the top right corner. A pop-up menu appears, and a yellow rectangle emphasizes the “Closed Captions” option. Another menu appears, and a yellow arrow points to the “Always show closed captions” selection. A voiceover provides step-by-step instructions. The video cuts back to Louise, who emphasizes the importance of accessibility. The reel concludes with the festival’s tagline, “Every Voice Shakes The World,” as colorful abstract symbols—stylized eyes, sound waves, geometric shapes, and lightning bolts—animate in and out of the frame.

Voiceover:
Hi, my name is Louise. Closed captions, or subtitles, are a text version of speech and important sounds. They are essential for Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. Let me show you how to use them on Instagram. On the Instagram post, tap the three buttons in the top right corner, and select Closed Captions from the list. From there, tap the button that says ‘Always show closed captions.’ Then you’ll be good to go! Inclusion is more than words, it’s action. Caption your videos, because accessibility matters.
