Hello Classmates,
I chose the television show called "The Newsroom". here is the link to it: https://youtu.be/kp04NqmwWn4. I observed the second scene where, with the sound turned off, the adult seems to be a relative of the boys' family, or a close family friend. It seems to be a post- service funeral reception if i refer to their clothing.
Based on the nonverbal behavior he has difficulties at the beginning, to approach the young boy. But as the conversation goes on, they seem to get along and they even start to play the guitar together. Everyone comes outside to enjoy the music played. Everyone seems happy to the point where i am even starting to wonder if it is a funeral reception !!
The assumptions i based on the characters are defined as nonverbal Codes: the body language and the physical appearance. When i observed the young boy, you could sense that he was simply sad. There are gestures and body movements that can send nonverbal messages. They are called kinesics. This does not mean that the way we move our body is a language (O’Hair, Wiemann, Mullin & Teven, 2015, p. 101). Perception about appearance are referred from clothing you wear, which can reveal quite a bit about (O’Hair, Wiemann, Mullin & Teven, 2015, p. 107) the circumstances.
My assumptions were right.
Marlene,
ReplyDeleteI must say that I really enjoyed completing this assignment. Whenever, I completed this assignment I also paid close attention to the nonverbal codes to try to make sense of what was happening within the show. I would say that a lot of assumptions where made trying to figure out the story line. Luckily, we were both able to make right assumptions. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Kiara. And yes this assignment was interesting.
DeleteGood day.
