That means that non-speech sounds and other aural cues must be included in captions because they are crucial to recreating the intended \u201caudience experience\u201d without using audio. And when those non-speech elements are missing, viewers end up confused, annoyed, and eventually disinterested with that video content.<\/p>\n<p>Automated speech recognition (ASR) technology, although sometimes impressively accurate, comes up short when it comes to identifying key non-speech elements of captioning. Non-speech elements include sound effects, speaker labels that indicate who is talking, and other sonic information that might be necessary to properly follow the plot or dialogue.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"doc-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/resources\/white-papers\/wp-best-practices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">White Paper: Closed Captioning Best Practices for Media &amp; Entertainment<\/a>To demonstrate why this aspect of captioning is so important, here is a list of examples from an assortment of TV shows and films where non-speech captions are an absolute necessity.<\/p>\n<h2>1. \u201cNo Audio\u201d Scenes in <em>The Life Aquatic<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/life-aquatic-1.jpg\" alt=\"a screenshot of Bill Murray's character yelling to someone off-screen with the caption (no audio) on the bottom\" \/><br \/><em>Image: Netflix<\/em><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/life-aquatic-2.jpg\" alt=\"a screenshot of Owen Wilson's character talking with Cate Blanchett's character with the caption (no audio) on the bottom\" \/><br \/><em>Image: Netflix<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, it is necessary to indicate to the viewer that they aren\u2019t missing anything at all.<\/p>\n<p>There are several scenes in Wes Anderson\u2019s loveably whimsical Bill Murray vehicle <em>The Life Aquatic<\/em> in which characters are seen having conversations but no speech is actually heard. Music is playing over the conversations and that is the only audio the viewer is meant to hear.<\/p>\n<p>If it were not for the captions that read \u201c<em>(no audio)<\/em>\u201d each time the camera cuts to a conversation in these situations, the viewers would assume something was left out of the captions when they were just supposed to hear the music.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Different Uses of ASL in <em>Master of None<\/em> and <em>Fargo<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/master-of-none-store.jpg\" alt=\"A screenshot from Master of None during a scene where a woman confronts a couple having a vulgar public argument in sign language. Captions read, My kids are with me and they know ASL.\" \/><br \/><em>ASL in Master of None with subtitles. Image: Netflix<\/em><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fargo-asl.jpg\" alt=\"a man uses sign language in a scene from the TV shows Fargo. No English subtitles appear on screen\" \/><br \/><em>ASL in Fargo without subtitles. Image: Hulu<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Not every language relies on sound to facilitate communication. For example, sign language \u2014 something which ASR cannot currently recognize and render as captions on screen.<\/p>\n<p>On a memorably <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3playmedia.com\/2017\/06\/08\/master-none-highlights-deaf-culture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">standalone episode<\/a> of Netflix\u2019s <em>Master of None<\/em>, (American sign language) ASL is the primary language used on screen. In this case, it\u2019s necessary to include non-speech captions otherwise people who do not understand ASL would be excluded from the plot. Technically, non-speech captions for ASL are actually called <em>subtitles <\/em>because they translate one language to another, but this example still deserves a place on this list nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>In FX\u2019s original series <em>Fargo<\/em>, however, the captions \u2014 or subtitles \u2014 for ASL were left out intentionally. But why?<\/p>\n<p>This is one of those cases where the shows\u2019 producers decided they want to leave the audience in the dark as to what was being signed on screen. In the first season of Fargo, we are introduced to two imposing-looking mob members who both use ASL to communicate (only one speaks English). Assuming the viewer does not know ASL, the absence of subtitles for sign language is strategic because it keeps the viewer in suspense during certain scenes, which compliments the general tone of the show very well.<\/p>\n<h2>3. \u201cUpsidedown World\u201d Sounds in <em>Stranger Things<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/stranger-things.jpg\" alt=\"A screenshot from Stranger Things in which Mike sits on a couch shuffling papers. The two lines of captions in brackets read [static crackling on radio] and [feedback whines]\" \/><br \/><em>Image: Netflix<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In this scene from Netflix\u2019s <em>Stranger Things<\/em>, two characters named Mike and Eleven are having a conversation over the subtle whirring, crackling, and whining noises of a staticky radio.<\/p>\n<p>The radio sounds are integral to the dialogue in this scene. Mike shouts to Eleven (who is toggling with the settings on the radio) a couple of times to turn it off when it is making noises off-screen. Their conversation makes little sense without the context of the radio\u2019s annoying, staticky interruptions.<\/p>\n<p>Later, to the surprise of the viewer (without giving too much away\u2026) a certain someone\u2019s voice comes over the radio from the \u201cUpsidedown world.\u201d Without the foreshadowing of the radio sound-effect captions at the beginning of the scene, this new voice is doubly surprising and probably a little confusing for someone trying to follow the scene at the intended pace.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Setting Up a Joke in <em>The IT Crowd<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/it-crowd.jpg\" alt=\"A screenshot from the IT Crowd in which Roy is seated at his desk reading a magazine. The caption reads, (Singing) We don't need no education. The word Singing is in brackets.\" \/><br \/><em>Image: Netflix<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s always a shame when a good joke goes unnoticed because computer-generated captions couldn\u2019t set up for the punch line.<\/p>\n<p>The UK\u2019s Channel 4 witty sitcom <em>The IT Crowd<\/em> offers up a great example of proper captioning for comical situations.<\/p>\n<p>In one opening scene of the first season, jaded slacker and corporate technical support worker Roy is reclining at his desk reading a magazine. The captions read \u201c<em>(Singing) We don\u2019t need no education<\/em>.\u201d To most people listening to the audio, this is immediately recognized as a part of a song you\u2019ve heard before (Pink Floyd\u2019s classic \u201cAnother Brick in the Wall\u201d). Without the caption <em>(Singing)<\/em>, however, you would not know he was singing. You might just assume he was stating that we, in fact, do not need no education.<\/p>\n<p>That <em>(Singing)<\/em> caption is important becuase his nerdy co-worker Moss responds with, \u201cYes you do; you\u2019ve just used a double negative.\u201d That punchline isn\u2019t really a punchline without that non-speech caption. Without that context, it\u2019s just the next line in what appears to be a conversation.<\/p>\n<h2>5. The Whisper: <em>Lost In Translation<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/lost-in-translation.jpg\" alt=\"a screenshot of Bill Murray's character whispering into the ear Scarlett Johansson's character.

No one really knows. The whisper is intended to be inaudible. If you had the sound off or couldn\u2019t hear, however, you would have no idea. You would have thought you missed something critical to the movie\u2019s conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>The intention of the inaudible whisper is probably to allow the viewer to use their imagination as to what Murray\u2019s character said. There is, however, plenty of debate about what Murray <em>actually <\/em>said to Johansson when that scene was filmed if you want to try and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vulture.com\/2013\/10\/lost-in-translation-whisper-theories.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">decide for yourself<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h4>Captions Make Art Accessible, Not Just Video<\/h4>\n<p>Coppola\u2019s decision to end <em>Lost in Translation<\/em> with ambiguity is part of what makes this movie such a classic and distinguishes her as a director.
