I've seen this kind of thing so much in my life and almost feel insulted sometimes.
In a video (or on T.V.), putting white letters on a white background is...(how do you say it?).....idiotic.
I've seen it all of my life whenever subtitles are used in foreign films, but also in American films when someone speaks a foreign language. At first I thought "Oh well, they're new at it, they'll learn to do things right", but, no, I'm still waiting for the world's video and T.V. industries to discover the big secret of "intelligent thought" after 55 years (or am I expecting too much?).
Maybe someday editor's and their unions will end the ban on choosing better colors for text in their job description.
Some film makers spend millions of dollars making a film, and then they camouflage part of it.
I agree. You would think that it would not be hard to choose a text color that is not a major part of the film's color scheme. Apparently, it takes rocket science.
