Character Communication

This assignment was actually really interesting. I couldn’t figure out what show I wanted to see. All of my favorite shows just seem so animated. I recently became interested in Glee and all of the pretty music. So I wondered what the show would “look” like with out the music.
The characters in the show expressed the same interest as they did with music and sound. They all made eye contact and you knew the ones that didn’t were mad at each other but that only lasted a few minutes. The emotion that Finn and Rachel have for each other is expressed all of their faces. Even when Rachel sang a love ballet to Finn, the cast in the background portrayed just by their actions and expressions how much the two cared for each other.
The feelings and expressions they seemed to be experiencing are happy yet confused. You can tell by the way Rachel and Finn look at each other and the way Finn grabs her that he cares yet it seems that every other encounter with each other they have looks of anguish on their faces.
When I turned the sound back on of course I was right about my assumption. Although in this episode the two lovebirds were discussing marriage and what a happy thing it can be, there were still moments of “what ifs”. This played a major role in their communication skills and their actual and true feelings for one another.
I do believe my assumptions would have been correct if this had been a show that I had watched a little more. It had all the hand holding, smiling, tears, and hugging of any other show that was revolved young love. Maybe the emotions are true and do relate to real life communications.

  1. I have never watched this show before. As you describe their non verbal communication, I get small images in my mind of what those expressions would look like for two young people in love. I have found anytime John and I had an argument, it seems like everyone knows it just happened. I guess that shows the power of non verbal communication.

  2. Hi, Keisha! Yes, I agree with you that non-verbal communication is very powerful and can truly get messages across even without the sounds. Some non-verbal cues are so distinct that they are easy to spot. Thanks for your post!

  3. What a cool show to do this assignment with no volume. I hadn't even thought about how you could understand what someone is singing based on their nonverbal cues alone. One is able to learn a lot from watching people and thier actions. Great post!
