Illegible Subtitles
I saw this last night on BC's Knowledge Network, or I saw about half when it was too frustrating as the subtitles were just not legible.
But, why is this? It happens in almost all such documentaries when it would be so easily changed with the white text against a black background?
I think the best of TV is the under sung documentaries and I really appreciate the hours, the years it takes to bring one to air. So, why ruin all that with something so easily fixed?
