In our film opening, we are going to use subtitles on the screen while to translate what the characters are signing because obviously most people are not going to understand. Subtitles translate a film's dialogue into written text superimposed on the screen, thus allowing you to read along and follow the actors as they speak in their native language. Subtitles are translations for people who don't speak the language of the medium.
Standard subtitles assume that the person is listening to the audio but subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing are written for viewers who can not hear the audio. Closed captioning are quite different from subtitles and are in the same language as the audio.
In movies, there is usually a standard font used for the subtitles in all films. For most films, they just use "Arial" because it is a simple and safe choice that does not stand out too much. However, Netflix primarily uses the subtitle font "Consolas".
