Communication

For this assignment I decided to watch a show by the name "Storage Hunters" I have never seen the show before, I only had a slight premise as to the objective of the show. I watched it with the volume down for about 5 minutes, in the beginning I saw two men on the side of a gate, one had a crow bar lifting it up and down hitting it against his palm then a crowd of people walked towards the two men, it appeared  as if the two sets of people were about to fight due to the intensity of the steers. However, everyone walked towards a storage container, the man with the crow bar opened the door and inside was a body bag, immediately some storage hunters looked surprised. One man turned to the camera and shook his head, another man turned to the camera and he raised his one of his eyebrows, another couple spoke to the camera and while the man spoke the woman shook her head up and down and the auctioneer had a smile on his face

As I began to re-watch the five minutes, when the men on the side of the gate reached the crowd of people, he said Welcome to Storage Hunters with a genuine deposition, he introduced the man with the crow bar as Green Mile, "the friendly giant". As they walked to the storage bin, they said "Lets get started", when the storage collectors reached to the storage bin, Green Mile used the crow bar to open the lock using it as a tool, as the storage bin opened, the man who turned to the camera said because of the hooks he was not interested while shaking his head, the man who raised his eyebrows said this would be interesting and the couple began to rationalize all the tools inside the bin and realized it was possible to turn a profit, the woman agreed by saying 'yes' and shaking her head and decided that they would try to outbid the competition.

For me this was an interesting experience, because as I watched the beginning with the body movement, I thought they were about to engage in a psychical altercation. Interesting how we can make assumptions from body movements, hand gestures, facial expressions and be wrong about it.
