I'm kind of new to VLC so I'm trying to understand how it works, I was using GOM before and it was easier in some things like the subtitles thing.
Usually I could watch the movie with the subtitles "under" the movie, not "over" the movie:

The yellow line represents the movie "border", under it, there's the black space, where I want the subtitle (represented by the red box), the yellow box is where I see the subtitles now, and is kind of annoying because shadows part of the movie. I tried the Force subtitles position option but doesn't seem to go "downward" but I can place it anywhere "over" the movie.
My language is not English so I hope you could understand what I'm trying to say here

Any help will be appreciated.
