creating captions

A caption, also known as a cutline, is a text that appears below an image. Most captions draw attention to something in the image that is not obvious, such as its relevance to the text. Captions can consist of a few words of description, or several sentences. Along with the title, lead, and section headings, captions are the most commonly read words in an article, so they should be succinct and informative. Captions also include a short title or heading of an article in a magazine or newspaper. Words shown on a cinema or television screen to establish the scene of a story are also called captions. Captions can also be inserted below/above charts, figures, graphics and tables. There are several criteria for a good caption. A good caption clearly identifies the subject of the picture without detailing the obvious. It is succinct. It establishes the picture's relevance to the article, provides context for the picture, and draws the reader into the article

A note to remember: There are several criteria for a good caption. A good caption clearly identifies the subject of the picture without detailing the obvious. It is succinct.

So related to the structure of a caption, it can be written in the form a word(s), phrase(s) or sentence(s).

C. WRITING AND DESCRIBING CAPTIONS

When writing a caption, the descriptive words accompanying the caption should offer more complete information about the picture. The words that you choose depend on the message that you want to send to your reader.

From the picture above, you can create different kinds of caption. You can write “Poor boy!” to show your sympathy to the boy. You can also write down, “Show me your driving license.” to create a satire commenting on the police officer. You might want to write, “Oh, my goodness!” to echo the boy’s mind why the police should stop him while he is only riding his bicycle or the police is thinking why the boy wears a safety helmet for a motor rider. Many other expressions are possible. You can also put the words in different positions to create the best layout.
