Caption part 3

 

Caption Text Function

Writing caption text is not necessarily made just like that, but in its manufacture it has several functions, including:

1. As an addition to the credibility of an image or video that is given a caption. That way, the image or video will be treated as real.

2. As a way to get lots of people interested in watching videos or pictures. In addition, the use of caption text also provides an explanation of the images or videos that have been posted.

3. Complete information from photos or images that are already published in social media or print media. With caption text, readers will easily understand the intent of the video or image.
