Subject field(s)
  • Cinematography
DEF

... a full screen of printed text inserted between segments of photographed action, rather that the film's beginning or end.

OBS

In silent films, inter titles were used extensively to display dialogue. In sound films, they have been used sparingly, usually to describe a time or place change or offer exposition.

French

  • Cinématographie
DEF

Texte apparaissant en surimpression dans un film afin de permettre une meilleure compréhension de la continuité d'une action.

CONT

L'intertitre a pour but d'apporter un complément d'information par rapport à l'image. Dans le cinéma muet, il est fréquemment utilisé pour transcrire les dialogues. Cet usage a progressivement disparu avec l'apparition du cinéma parlant. Il est depuis essentiellement utilisé pour donner des indications spatiales ou temporelles (ex : «Londres, 1871» ou «20 ans plus tard...»).
