Five Things You Can't Do On British Television
Рет қаралды 5,224,041
3 жыл бұрынPull down this description for information on all the shows I mention, plus all my references, and some advice if you're looking to subtitle your videos!
🔤🔤 SUBTITLES 🔤🔤
15% of my viewers watch with subtitles! They're helpful for folks without headphones, or in loud environments, or who can't hear well, or who just like subtitles. More people will watch if subtitles are an option.
Before 2020, KZfaq had a volunteer community-captions system. Alas, due to spam (and, I suspect, the difficulty of porting it to the new Studio), KZfaq turned it off. So your options are:
OPTION 1: DO IT YOURSELF
If your video is one or two people talking, you can add subtitles easily with KZfaq's tools: support.google.com/youtube/an... - that's also possible for more complex videos, but it can be time-consuming.
OPTION 2: PAY A SMALL AMOUNT
If you can afford an editor, you can afford subtitles! They only cost $1-2 per minute of audio.
For simple audio, try Rev: www.rev.com/blog/coupon/?ref=... To be clear, that's an affiliate link: you get $10 of captions free (enough for up to an 8-minute video), and I get a kickback from them. However, my opinions of Rev are mixed. They have downsides, and they may not be the right option for you!
Advantages of Rev:
✅ Extremely fast turnaround
✅ Easy, simple, automated, self-service
✅ Reasonable price
Disadvantages of Rev:
🚫 Rev is a gig-economy company, with everything that entails. In 2019, transcribers raised issues including low pay. www.theverge.com/2019/11/25/2...
🚫 Accuracy is usually acceptable for clear speech, but not the near-perfect results you'd expect from a more high-end subtitle company.
🚫 They're limited to their simple, narrow, house style. That isn't ideal for videos with long sentences or many speakers.
For more complicated audio or for multiple speakers, try Caption+: caption.plus -- a small company that produces extremely high-quality subtitles for a reasonable price.
Advantages of Caption+:
✅ Exceptional subtitle accuracy.
✅ Hand-tweaked broadcast-standard subtitles that are perfect for accessibility, and which the audience love.
✅ Can use positioning and per-speaker colors, and match other style requests.
✅ Still a reasonable price.
Disadvantages of Caption+:
🚫 Not automated: you're dealing with a human by email, and paying invoices.
OTHER COMPANIES: I also used 3PlayMedia once, but unfortunately can't recommend them based on that experience. KZfaq also mention ceilo24 and Amara, neither of which I have experience with: cielo24.com/ amara.org/
📺📺 SHOWS 📺📺
Here's a list of all the shows mentioned, with links where available. (Where Amazon links are listed, those are affiliate links, where I earn a commission from sales.)
The Demon Headmaster is available on DVD from Amazon UK: amzn.to/37Cb68U - and the 2019 revival is available in the UK on BBC iPlayer: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...
Derren Brown: The Events: How To Control The Nation is available for free on KZfaq: • Derren Brown | The Eve... - although it lacks the live broadcast cut-ins.
The pilot episode of Crisis Command: Could You Run The Country? has been uploaded to KZfaq here: • BBC2 3rd February 2004... - normally I wouldn't link to an unofficial upload, but the series will likely never be repeated or see a commercial release.
Ghostwatch is available on DVD from Amazon UK: amzn.to/3kweAgL - I should absolutely have put the ghost in the background of one of my shots here, I regret missing that joke!
The full Ghostwatch continuity announcement is here: • Ghostwatch Continuity ...
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire have an entire KZfaq channel. / millionaireuk - and yes, Jeremy Clarkson is the host now, I suspect that'll surprise a lot of people.

This video has a correction! The final "sixth thing", the rule on advertising breaks, was superseded in 2008 by a different rule that requires that "the integrity of the programme is not prejudiced" and adverts must be placed "where natural breaks occur". The old Code is still on Ofcom's site, and I missed the replacement. Back when Millionaire started, those throws-to-commercial were definitely not allowed, but it's now more ambiguous.

As an American I envy that 12 minutes of advertisement per hour rule so damn much. We're lucky to have 12 minutes of _show_ per _half_ hour. It's gotten so bad that re-airings of older episodes of different shows have had parts of them completely cut out (with no effort spared to smooth the transition), not because of censorship, not because of offense, but just to squeeze in more frickin' ads.
@trumpetperson11 2 жыл бұрын
For real. Honestly, I think this is a subconscious reason why many people, including myself, have switched to mostly non-traditional video media (KZfaq, Netflix, etc.) over TV. Obviously there are other reasons, but adblock is fantastic for youtube and many other streaming services don't even have ads. Like, why would I pay hundreds of dollars for a TV package that is just 33% ads, when I can pay 20 for netflix and get no ads at all.

@@trumpetperson11 as someone who lives both in Belgium and the US, I was surprised how many ad breaks there are on American television, even for the same shows. But cutting the cord may also be a big thing to Americans because I feel like they pay way more for internet and TV, and arguably the service is… worse. I pay less than 0.1% of my income for 2000 TV channels. Where I lived in the US, you couldn’t get cable for under $50/mo. In the UK for example, you can get like 70 channels for free (which is what those towers in the video are for), including video on demand. Free TV doesn’t exist in Belgium anymore (although all public channels are available online, and you can get free, basic access to the internet to watch those). I’m not aware of alternatives like this where I lived in the US (California). I can absolutely understand people wouldn’t wanna pay close to $100 on TV and internet, and find alternatives. In fact, Hulu is very reasonably priced, but if you add Live TV, it becomes insanely expensive. Not sure why but this + all those ads… I can understand people are tired of it.

I was really affected briefly on the night - totally freaked out. It was a great program and I had it on VHS and DVD and I am even glad I had the experience in retrospect because it was one of those things you get excited to say you were there. But I realise it probably affected some people really badly. I'm sure I wasn't happy at the time

the subtitles thing is so important to me. I'm neurodivergent, and a side effect of that is my Audio Processing Disorder, which makes it hard for my brain to process sounds and speech as its happening, especially when there are other noises in the background. The subtitles give me something to latch onto so i can understand and follow a video better! Tom's channel has always been one of my favorites, not just because of its content, but also because I can consistently understand and absorb what is happening BECAUSE of the subtitles.

Captions don't just come from "the caption company". Of that "$2 a minute maximum", a fraction actually goes to the caption writers, who are "freelance" contractors at the mercy of the company. It takes about 3 hours to put quality captions on a 30 minute video. You'll get about $9 for it. I had to do it to afford food when I was really, really hard up. I signed an NDA so I can't go into the specifics about the company or who used them, but I captioned videos for a lot of famous KZfaqrs, and subtitled a moderately successful British daytime soap. If you're going to buy captions, pay someone to do it directly.

regarding accessibility on television (and KZfaq): as someone with a disability, I absolutely agree. I also think there should be a minimum standard of accessibility for videogames.

I agree about KZfaq videos having subtitles. Even though I understand English very vell, it still makes it easier to follow. Also, it makes it much easier to learn: as a child (not a native speaker) watching American TV shows like The Simpsons, I used to mislearn a lot of words because there's so much variation in the pronounciation of words. The subtitles were in my native language, and were improvised to an unnecessary degree, which also made me mislearn a lot, but that's another story. Anyway, the cuts of your rant about KZfaq subtitles made me crack up xD

Suspense is even more necessary given they cut to ads, else why not flick through the channels to find something else Ads cutting the flow of a program is something I only really notice when channels air old movies and they cut to ads mid sentence or amid an action sequence (and then cut back but seem to have missed a couple of seconds)

I wish subtitles were more common on KZfaq. I'm not deaf or hoh, but I have some language processing difficulties and being able to read the words while someone is talking makes it much easier to understand. I love it when a creator subtitles the videos themselves (or in the good old days when viewers could do it) and inserts little easter eggs and snarky comments, so that the subtitles add to the experience rather than being an afterthought. It pisses me off when people just don't bother, because there's literally no reason not to include them, and there's a ton of people who rely heavily on them, so if you don't subtitle your videos they just can't watch them. It's also super irritating when someone puts text in the video that gets covered up by the subtitles so that I have to pause and turn subtitles off to read it. I know it's a minor thing but it's a pet peeve of mine, especially when it happens so often that I end up just turning the subtitles off.

And some people mumble alot or swallow a word once in a while, so that it becomes unintelligible. Hollywood movies do that alot. Especially Afro-Americans movies are often very hard to understand. Additionally, the music and sound effects of US shows are far too loud and the people too quiet.

The creator for for the channel "Primitive Technology", actual name of the channel, uses the Closed Caption option to place detailed explanations of what is happening on screen as there is no spoken dialog on the channel. You either read the description, figure out the action based on what you see and your prior knowledge, or you turn on CC to get an in depth understanding of the actions. Your choice of how you do things. If you have an interest is doing things the very, very old ways then you will probably find this worth your while. Who knows it may even inspire you to create your own stone axe and build yourself an clay tiled wattle and daub cabin in a rainy forest somewhere. Not sure that his area of Australia qualifies as a true rainforest.

Or not? Why should society conform to a minority's needs? If people aren't able to watch without subtitles, that's their own problem. And YT should *NOT* be regulated in any way at all. The way it is, is already enough.

I genus,my wanted to hear that rant. I’m so so so glad that someone has finally talked about that. The world is so off limits for certain groups, and the internet gives you the ability to be able to include, but people just don’t even try. Like AT LEAST put on auto-captions. That’s literally the bare minimum but people still don’t do that.

I wish that I could turn on subtitles in real life. I often find it hard understanding people in day-to-day situations, especially with background noise and it would just be so cool if I could understand everything and avoid awkward moments.
