INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your smoke bomb can be any shape you like. For puck-shaped smoke bombs, wrap the bottom of a soda can in aluminum foil and then remove the soda can. The foil will hold the shape.  You may also want to use a ball, something square, or a simple design of your choosing. Shape the aluminum foil so the opening is facing up, then set the mold aside. Measure the sugar using a dry measuring cup to ensure you have the correct amount. Pour it into a standard sized 12 in (30 cm) skillet but don’t turn the heat on yet. Do not use a measuring cup meant for fluids, as the measurements are different. Pour the potassium nitrate into the sugar. Use a wooden spoon to mix the two powders together until they are well blended with one another.  Make sure the ingredients are mixed thoroughly otherwise you could end up with an unusual burn once you’re done. Spread the mixture out in the pan once it’s thoroughly mixed. You can purchase potassium nitrate at online chemical retailers or even at some large retail stores. Place the pan on the stove with the burner set to low and continue mixing the ingredients using long, slow strokes. Eventually, the sugar will begin to melt. Continue stirring the mixture as the sugar melts and mixes with the potassium nitrate. As the sugar melts and mixes with the potassium nitrate, the two will begin to form a liquid sludge. Once it has become liquid enough to roll around the pan, pick it up off of the heat and turn off the burner.  Keep stirring the mixture as you remove it from the heat. Move quickly. The mixture will begin to harden soon after it is removed from the heat. Be careful not to spill any of the mixture as you do. Once there’s a thick layer of the mixture on the bottom of the mold (it can be any depth you choose) set the remaining mixture aside.  If there’s enough left over you can always make another smoke bomb. Do not touch the foil once the mixture is inside it. It will be very hot. Leave the mixture in the foil overnight, then peel it off the smoke bomb. The smoke bomb itself is entirely flammable, so there’s no need for a fuse.  Do not ignite the smoke bomb indoors or breath the smoke that it produces when lit. Be extremely careful when lighting the smoke bomb, as it may produce more smoke than you expected. There is no fuse on the smoke bomb. To set it off, simply ignite any portion of it using a lighter or match, then set the bomb on the ground or another horizontal surface to burn.  The smoke bomb may not burn with a visible flame but keep it away from anything flammable for safety anyway. Do not hold the smoke bomb while it burns.

SUMMARY: Create a mold of any shape out of aluminum foil. Pour 128 grams (4.5 oz) of sugar into a skillet. Add 192 grams (6.8 oz) of potassium nitrate. Apply low heat to the pan while you stir the mixture with a spoon. Remove the mixture from the heat when it liquifies. Pour the liquid mixture into the foil mold. Allow the smoke bomb to cool and remove it from the foil. Ignite the smoke bomb by exposing it to a flame.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Subtitles are translations, and as anyone who has ever used Google Translate can tell you, translations are as much an art form as a science. If you're subtitling the scene itself, there are several considerations you need to come up with for each line:  What is the goal of the dialog? Regardless of the words they use, what feeling is the character trying to get across? This is your guiding principle when translating. How can you fit the subtitled words within the time the character is speaking? Some writers will display a few lines of dialogue at once, starting a little early and ending late to give viewers a chance to read everything. How do you handle slang and figures of speech? They often do not translate well, so you'll have to substitute slang or figurative language from your native language. This, however, requires you to look up the meaning of foreign expressions and slang. Sites like DotSub, Amara, and Universal Subtitler let you see the movie while you write out the subtitles, eventually spitting out an .SRT file that fits with your movie. While all subtitling sites work differently, they all follow a similar format:  Choose when the title starts. Write the title out. Choose when the title disappears. Repeat across the movie, marking "Complete" when finished. Download the .SRT file and place it in the same folder as your movie. You can write out subtitles by hand if you want though the process is greatly expedited by a program. To do so, open up a Text editor like Window's Notepad or Apple's TextEdit (both free and pre-installed), and make sure you know the proper format for a subtitle. Before beginning, click "Save As" and title it after "YourMovie.SRT." Then set the encoding to "ANSI" for English subtitles and "UTF-8" for Non-English. Then write out your titles. Each of the following parts goes on its own line, so hit "enter" after each one:   The number of a subtitle. 1 would be the first title, 2 the second, etc.  The duration of the subtitle. This is written in the format hours:minutes:seconds:milliseconds --> hours:minutes:seconds:milliseconds Example: 00:01:20:003 --> 00:01:27:592    The text of the subtitle: This is simply what the title will say.  A blank line. Leave one blank line before the number of the next title. SRT files. This method lets you see the titles as you add them and adjust their placement, color, and style by hand. Open your movie file in your favorite film editor, such as Premier, iMovie, or Windows Movie Maker, and pull the film into your timeline (the work section). From here, click on your programs "Titles" menu and choose a style you like. Write out your title, drag it on top of the appropriate section of the film, and repeat.  You can right-click on a title and copy and paste it to keep your same settings on every title, saving you tons of time. The only drawback to this format is that the movie will need to be saved as a separate file. You will not be able to turn the titles off, as they will now be part of the movie.

SUMMARY:
Understand the goals of subtitling. Use a subtitle creation website to efficiently add subtitles to any movie file. Create own subtitles by hand using Notepad. Create subtitles in your favorite movie editor to avoid dealing with .
