I like it when they use italics for a voice over, when someone unseen is talking. i don't mean someone off screen, but a voice over.

Such as the opening scenes of "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring", they open up with italicized captions. "ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL" for instance

You should always indicate who is talking with "HOPE: I AM HERE!" for instance.

I like upper case. it works for me just fine.

oh and one important thing most people forget to caption is environmental noise!

such as -

*phone ringing*

*dog barking*

*crash*


or whatever.

Hope this helps!
