Why Hasn’t Anyone Thought Up Thought Captions?

Thought captions could work like the closed caption system. Yet, it would be programmable to display all available thought captions, or an individual could select to view the thoughts of certain show characters.

Thought captions could also come as an add on benefit with the purchase of shows, movie, etc. Over the internet, such media content could have the thought captions preprogrammed into the purchased content, the media content could be created in a way that allows for the thought captions to come as add ons after appropriate content marking, or the media content could come preprogrammed with option of receiving marked (tagged) add ons.

The preprogrammed thought captions would consist of the moments in a show that conveys the most suspense, drama, et. cetera. In other words, the production team of the show would decide what moments of a show would be relevant for the placement of thought captions.

The add on thought captions would come about from a tagging feature that would integrated into the purchased media content, media player, etc.

When viewing media content with the integrated thought caption feature, viewers would be able to tag moments within such content in which they would like for thought captions to exist.

After receiving all the data compiled via viewer responses, the production team would be able to decide which moments in a show received an adequate number or responses to warrant the creation of thought caption add ons.

I appreciate being able to view show that are to my liking, mainly reality shows, yet, I would have a better viewer experience if thought captions were a reality.

I also believe that thought captions would help bring new life to children’s books, comic books, and so forth – especially when it pertains to the publications already sold, because thought captions would open up a new revenue stream.

More / Better Placement Ads Would Equal Less Commercials

– Placement ads that are included into the content of T.V. shows, talk shows, etc. are normally either lost in and /or divided by all the surrounding content, or are presented in a non-impressive way.

– I feel as though T.V. shows should have placement ads that highlight the product that is being advertised, in a way in which the product seems to jump out from all the visual and verbal clutter on the T.V. screen. In other words, every time a placement ad is being shown on a T. V. screen, the entire T.V. screen should turn black and white, and the only thing that should be shown in color is the product that is being advertised.

– As soon as the product placement spot ends, the entire T.V. screen should return to normal, and show everything in color.

– Such a product placement strategy would work perfectly in certain circumstances and with certain products. For example, vehicles would fit perfectly into such an ad strategy. Because such an ad strategy would be as disruptive to the content of the show, if it is deployed by way of showing a highlighted vehicle during a street scene.

– Know, such a strategy wouldn’t work in a lot of instances…such as with the American Idol Coke placement ads, or the X-Factor Pepsi placement ads, unless such a strategy was deployed sparingly (just at the beginning and end of the broadcast, etc.).

– There are other creative ways to creatively deploy placement ads. Yet, I’ll close on such a note, for the time being.
