Television show with/without sound


 

The show that I watched was the Jamie Foxx show with my husband. He always watches this show and I decided it would be the perfect show to use for this blog assignment. With the sound off it was very interesting to only watch the expression of the actors. At first glance I thought that the main character’s which was Jamie and Fancy was in a relationship. The reason I got that conclusion was because they was hugging and touching a lot. The other characters was all looking at them and saying things to them. At one point in the show she started rolling her eyes and walking off on him so I assumed that they must of got into a argument of some sort. When I cut the music on, my husband was eager to catch up on what he missed with the sound off, because he loves that show. I was pretty much right when it came to the whole set up of the show. Fancy and Jamie had hooked up but he didn’t make it clear that he was the girlfriend. She got mad about it, that’s when I saw her doing all the hand motions and walking off on him. In the end they made up. I think it wouldn’t of mattered if I was watching a show that I know well, because nonverbal communication can tell a lot about what it going on.

    I agree with you that non-verbal communication can speak louder than words in many cases. I have learned over the last two weeks to be more conscious of my non-verbal communication and what it may be portraying to others during conversation.
