I chose to watch the show "Dog the bounty hunter". I have watched this show before and based on my pass experiences I felt that it would be hard to predict what was going on. I did not want to pick a show that would be easy for me to understand without sound. I wanted to be able to use my skills that I learned this week to help me in interpreting what the show was about.
Interpretation of Show with no sound.
In the scene I watched with no sound I noticed that Dog and his employees got a new case. I new this because Dog was at the dry eraser board with a new picture and he wrote down notes around the picture. I also understood that this person was a hard catch because one of the employees put his head down and started shaking it. I felt that this meant that this person they were looking for was maybe even dangerous. When they started to search for the person I saw that they had little help. No one would give up information. I drew these conclusions from seeing them walk up to people with the picture of the fugitive and they just shook their heads.
Interpretation of Show with sound
My interpretations were correct. The person the Dog was assigned to was a fugitive that was armed and dangerous and no one was able to capture him. This was frustrating because no one would give them a lead of where to find him. In the end they found him through many days of searching.
I felt this assignment helped me to use all skills that I have learned this week to decode the conversations going on in this show. It is so important to use all forms of communication when trying to reach someone.
McKenzie,
ReplyDeleteYou are correct when you say that it’s important to use all forms of communication when trying to reach someone because not everyone communicates in the same manner. The show I chose didn’t have that much action in it, so it was fairly easy to interpret with the sound off and on. I feel that the more action in a show would be more difficult to determine the communication being made than the shows without action.
