Culture note
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A "culture note" (derived from footnote) is small "pop-up" text that explains a cultural element on a TV program or film that the target audience is not expected to understand. Examples can be:
- Cultural artifacts and symbols.
- Definitions for specific terms.
- Puns that are hard or impossible to explain with just subtitles.
Usually a text-box appears for a few seconds in the top part of the screen, with the note itself being kept as small as possible. Other examples include full-screen cultural notes prior to the start of the program.
