This is really interesting. After sitting in on the second CC workshop today, I wonder if this paralanguage is another creative way for the CCer (what name do we use for those who do CCing?) to express what’s going on in the movie (thinking about the example of Bolt you showed us today with the narration embedded). It’s obvious that “gasp” is not going to work for each and every circumstance, and it seems obvious that we can’t supply a “gasp” (or its equivalent) every time there is a gasp. Seems like the CCer has to really “know” the work to which he or she is CCing in order to discern went to use paralanguage and how to write it to convey the movie’s or image’s “message.”
