Communication Assumptions
The
show I chose to watch is Love and Hip Hop Atlanta. I have heard about the show
but have not had the opportunity to watch. I understand that this is actually
the second season for the show. While watching the show with the volume turned
down I was able to determine exactly what was going on because I can read lips.
I observed a lot of animosity among the people as well as several heated arguments. The only assumptions I made
that were wrong were the relationships between some of the people on the show. It’s
a reality tv show that follows several people and couples around Atlanta. It was
hard to determine which of the groups of ladies were friends and which were
not. Once I watched the show with the volume
turned up, of course I was surprised to see that several of the women who were
having disagreements were actually considering themselves to be friends. My
assumption would have most certainly been more accurate had I been watching a
show I know well.

Towanda,
ReplyDeleteI too watched a show that I had never seen before. I think the difference was that my show had professional actors and it was pretty easy to see the emotions of the actresses. They were very animated and used alot of hand gestures and facial expressions to make their points. I really found it hard to sit for 30 minutes with no sound Did you?

Yes, Leslie it was difficult for me also. More time consuming than anything because I am a mother of three who just recently moved. I am yet to get settled in and this took a lot of time.
DeleteIt is amazing that you were able to read lips and actually understand most of the plot. I was also partially able to read lips and understand some parts of conversations, but I totally misinterpreted relationships and the plot of the show I was watching.
