Observing Communication

For this assignment, I recorded an episode of Full House. It's not a show I normally watch but my daughter watches so I had it recorded. While watching it with the volume muted, I noticed that all the family was very close. I noticed there were more than just regular family, there was some extended family going on. It was very weird to see 3 men a girl and 3 kids all in one house plus a neighbor girl who always came over. With the television muted I wasn't able to tell which one was the father because I seen 2 men actually kiss the girls and they sat one all 3 of thems lap, so that was hard to tell.
The Nonverbal behavior was very appropriate. A lot of pouting by the little sister and hateful looks from the older sisters. You could tell how each character felt by the look on their face or the movement of their bodies.
After re-watching it with it unmuted, it was much easier to tell who dad was because they called him dad and the other 2 were called uncle jessie and uncle Joey.and the woman was the aunt. The childrens mother had died when they were young, so the father was a single father. I noticed at the very end there was very dramatic music playing and there was a "life lesson" being learned and it was very teary. It would have been much easier to make assumptions based on a show I watched often because I would know the family and know what their story was. This was an awesome activity and I really enjoyed doing it! You can learn a lot more about a show and people if you watch it without volume first.
