What Do I Need To Do?<\/span><\/h1>\n

Step 1<\/span>: Find a movie that features human interaction <\/span>that you have never seen before<\/span>. It may be a classic film, a new release, or just something you have had on your watch list for a while but it <\/span>must include human<\/span> <\/span>relationships<\/span> and communication between people and <\/span>sound<\/span> (no silent movies). (I also do not recommend watching documentaries for this project). Any genre of film is fine to watch. For tips on locating movies, check the Hannon Library, Public Library, YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2: <\/span>Watch your selected movie with <\/span>NO SOUND or Subtitles<\/span>. Take notes on the nonverbal interactions you see particularly when it appears characters are meeting each other for the first time. Pay close attention to their eye contact, posture, proximity, touch, the environment in which they are meeting, etc. Feel free to pause the movie to get a \u201ctime-stamp\u201d of when that interaction occurred as it will help you with the next step. Make predictions as to what type of relationship you believe these people have with each other. Is it one of power, romance, conflict, collaborative partnerships etc. What indicators are leading you to make that prediction? As the film goes on, does your perception of that relationship change?<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 3: <\/span>Now, re-watch the film in the traditional setting (with the sound on, and subtitles if you prefer). While re-watching the film, take note of the interactions you saw the first time. What nonverbal cues do you pick up on that are different than what you saw the first time? Were your predictions about that relationship accurate or are there external factors (i.e. environment) that led to those nonverbal cues?<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 4<\/span>: Draft a 4-6 Page Paper (following syllabus writing guidelines) addressing what you noticed about nonverbal communication and first meetings in this project. The first paragraph of your paper should include the title of the film as well as a brief description of the movie and why you selected it for this project. The rest of the paper should address the following: Make sure to address the questions outlined in steps 2 and 3. In addition be sure to address the following questions: What was your experience watching a movie in complete silence? Were you able to understand what was going on? Did you miss something important when you watched in silence? What did this assignment show you about the relationship between nonverbal and verbal communication when building relationships?<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

What Do I Need To Turn In?<\/span><\/h1>\n

Please turn in the <\/span>notes <\/span>you took during the movie from both times you watched it (may be handwritten and scanned into Moodle)<\/span> <\/span>AND <\/span>the 4-6 page paper described in step 4.<\/span><\/p>\n
