The television series assignment: Learning about communication skills and styles


The television series chose to watch during this blog assignment is called “Wentworth”, which is season 1 episode 3: the girl who waited.

“Wentworth is filmed at an all women prison. In this particular episode the relationship seem to be a little confusing especially with no volume, because I did not know if they were being nice or mean to each other. For example: when two lady talk to each the one particular woman in charge had a smile on her face. With the volume up I realize she was talking mean to her, but with a smile on her face. In other words I guess the woman in charge was talking in a pretty nice way. With the volume down I though the conversation was good as the characters talked to each other. With the volume up character in the television episode did not have a good communicative relationship with one another. After looking at the television series in silence, I have noticed various facial expression some of the characters made such as: Smiling, crying, frowning of the face and laughing with their mouth open and there were facial expression of angry as well.

At the beginning of this particular I noticed a little wearing a chef uniform, there was a man looked as though he was yelling and some people seem to be filming it. After then the man/boss finish yelling at this particular Chef, she walked away from him. All of a sudden the lady/chef turned around hit the boss in the face and poured hot butter all over him, which properly the reason why she ended up behind the prison  wall. After going to prison I noticed that this same particular woman seems to come in contact with other women in the prison in both negative and positive way. The woman was helping other prisoner and getting into them as well.          

Now watching the show with the sound turned on was similar to my perception of what I thought was taking place already. I believe the language was convey in a pretty nice way in which someone got angry. With the volume down the body language or cues was slightly difference then what I thought what the way saying. The assumption I made about the characters was on point about my interpretation of what was going on in the plot of this movie.

I fact I like it better with the sound turn down, because it focus to pay close attention to what was happening in the show. I was close to the assumption I had when the volume turned down and up. I am going to go back just to watch other episodes. It is important to be careful in assuming what a personal made be feeling or looking alike. It is better to know the entire story or reasoning behind what they do. If I have watch the show before my assumption would have been clear, correct and to the point.
