Body Language
It was hard for me to watch the show without any volume
because I am use to sound. However it was quite fun trying to figure out what
was being sad and using my thoughts for what the characters were saying. At the
beginning of the show, the husband came home to his wife and I thought they
were arguing. Then the next scene showed a man coming out the shower to answer
the door and I assumed it was his girlfriend and they were on their way out.
When I rewind the show and added the volume, it was clear that the couple was
married because he had the key to the house. Also they were not arguing but
having a friendly debate. Although by her gestures and expressions it looked as
if she was arguing. The next scene they were just friends and the female was on
her way out but the male was trying to convince her to be his escort. Through
their gestures and body language they were real good friends.
This was a great activity but when it looks like the show
was getting very interested, you really want to turn it up so that you don’t have
to guess what they are saying. What I learned from this assignment is that
gestures and body language can be misguiding. This is why it is important to
watch your body language and gestures when speaking to others because they can
be taken in a different way. From this experience great communication and
listening skills are very essential.
Shonda,
ReplyDeleteYou can take body language a different way if you do not her what the people is talking about. This was a great experience a good activity also. Listening skills are helpful when it comes to communication.
