carton (cinéma)

[Belen13]

Hi,

What is the correct term for a carton in editing process, I've seen dialogue card and 'insert' elsewhere here but my sentence is 'sont en italiques les cartons ou inserts, les titres d’œuvres...'

Thank you

Do you mean an inserted "text panel" to carry the translated text? As here: (Pas de lien vidéo sans accord préalable)
.

hmmm, could be but these 'text panels' look like an alternative to subtitles. This is when there is a written explanation on screen but different from insert?

 

[Bondstreet]

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

 

[Belen13]

Sorry, I'm not sure what I meant either, a little confused. I guess text panels is what I'm looking for, many thanks.

Sorry to get your question that late, Belen 13.
I guess the EN for "carton" in a film can be either "dialog card", "title card" or insert - depends on the type of "carton" and the film (a silent film or a creative one like Godard's for example).
Or wasn't your sentence referring to FR typographical convention, which then would be : "sont en italiques [dans?] les cartons ou inserts, les titres d’œuvres...", since italics is to be used for titles and can also be used for quotations.

But you probably found the proper word since then ;0)

It's typically called a lower third. A graphic overlay placed in the title-safe lower area of the screen. They are also called chyrons in the States I believe.
