1) Apologies, I'm not sure I've seen this outside of Netflix but possibly you can explain something that bothers me a bit. When an off-screen character speaks but is revealed by the camera whilst speaking, that character is often named in the subtitles. I'm like, c'mon don't tell me who it is before I see them, I'm supposed to make the connection in my head before it happens. I realize that if I'm deaf I wouldn't be able to hear the voice to place it, but I still think it kind of runs contrary to the original goal.
I call it 'micro-spoilers' and its the bane of my existence.
2) Is there any method to handling super-dense speaking stuff, like Sorkin comes to mind? Is it just about preserving intent, case-by-case type of thing?
