Television Show: Home Improvement/ without sound
1. What
do you think the characters relationships are based on the ways in which they
are communicating?
When the show start there is a man and woman in the
living room communicating among one another and sense the woman had on a robe
ironing clothes I figured they were husband and wife. There were also three
little boys outside playing football and the way the father was engaging in
playing with them I thought they were his children.
2. What
are they feeling and expressing based on the nonverbal behavior you are
observing?
At the beginning of the show the lady seems like she
is a little upset looking at her husband television show and see her husband
watching other females. The husband seems like he is explaining himself using
hand gestures. The children seem happy and joyful playing with their father.
Although one little boy seem like he is upset about something and his father
talks to him and the little boy begin to smile. The wife seems like she is
unhappy when she goes out to dinner with the husband and she get up and walk
away from the table.
With Sound
1. What
assumptions did you make about the characters and plot based on the ways in
which you interpreted the communication you observed?
I was corrected about the man and woman being
married with three boys. I made the assumption that the wife was upset with the
husband looking at other woman but she actually made a bet and thought it was
kind of funny.
2. Would your assumptions have been more correct
if you had been watching a show you know well?
I believe my assumption would have been more correct
if I was watching a show I knew well because most shows have the same plot just
different circumstances. Most shows that you watch often is based on the same
themes such as, drama, horror, or comedy.
