This week we looked at several different pictures of movie scenes and commented on what caught our attention. After observing the different pictures we came up with different categories that we can apply these scenes to and for the scene above I came up with emotion and expression. You can tell that the girl (Akeela) at the mic is nervous as she attempts to spell a word. A lot of the comments even mention her expressions which give off an emotion. Not only for this example but also a lot of the other pictures that were being passed around such as "Harry Potter" and "Mean Girls" can apply to emotions and expressions. Even in everyday life you can tell someone's mood by their facial expression.
I thought this activity of looking at screen shots was really interesting. Even without seeing the movie, you could still make judgments about it through facial expressions, posture, or props. It was weird to see how film makers use these things to persuade viewers' opinions.
ReplyDeleteI cosign with your observation. Studies have shown that majority of communication is nonverbal. Its easy to depict that the girl (Akeela) in the picture is nervous because her facial expression denotes her emotions. Its crazy how we can identify other peoples emotions without them saying anything.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this activity of passing the picture around the room. You got to make assumptions based on environment, facial expressions, and how people looked in the picture. It just really goes to show you how people are so quick to judge before learning about something. I know I am a culprit of this, and I'm sure all of us have been at one point or another. I'm not sure how this relates to English class, but I guess we will find out!
ReplyDeleteWe wrote about the ame thing. I guess that makes sense becuase you were my partner. I thought that it was interesting to see how others saw things that were completely different then what was actally happening because they had no idea what the movie was about.
