 CAPTION



Definition:

A caption is a mini-story that answers all questions about a photo.

A caption requires time, thought, research, variety and

consistency to write.


Captions also:

  1. Referred to cutlines.
  2. Every photo should have a caption for adequate identification of its contents and to insure its historical value.
  3. Be certain that you write cutlines NOT cutelines.

    • Captions that talk to the photo or make insinuations and those that take liberties with2 the feelings of the person(s) in the photo are not only unjournalistic and in poor taste, they are also downright illegal.
    • Any staff that uses gag cutlines is opening itself up to problems ranging from black eyes to lawsuits.


Types of captions:

1. Identification bar:

  • simply who is in photo

2. Cutline:

  • who is doing what

3.  Summary:

  • Who, doing what, when, where, why

More types of captions

1. Expanded:

  • Who, doing what, when, where, why, how & quote

2. Quote:

3. Group Identification:     

  • A listing of everyone in a group photo

4. Montage Caption:

  • In a photo montage, photos are numbered and captioned or cutlined according to space available

Extended caption vs. Cutline:

  • Cutlines are simply the present tensetense newspape sentence (this is standard newspaper captioning)              
  • Captions can be a variety of lengths andand contain a variety of information. 
  • There are different kinds of captions, butbut all require investigation to do properly.

Present Tense Sentence

  • Provides quick and easy to readread information about who is doing what in the picture.
  • Each of these sentences should open differently

Past tense sentence

  • Adds more information about the circumstances surrounding the picture's event.
  • Provides the when, where, why, or how of the photo or the event.
