The television show that I watched was Grey’s Anatomy. I have never watched this show so I am not familiar with the characters or the plot.
This episode opened with a plane that had crashed. I looked like people who were co-workers from a hospital. Their facial expressions were that of fear, anxiety, surprise and then happiness. Watching the episode without sound caused me to assume they were looking for other people who were traveling with them, but were unaccounted for after the plane racked. It seemed like their voices could have been raised as if calling for someone. I also saw a look of discuss, from one of the victims toward the pilot, as he was talking to her.
After watching the episode with volume, I found out that two of the women were sisters, and one of them had a husband that was also traveling with them on the plane, but had not been found. One of the ladies had gotten her arm broke but was assisting the others who were injured. The expression that I saw on the Chinese girl’s face as the pilot addressed her, was one of discuss. He was complaining while other people were more severely injured and needed some assistance. One of the passengers lost her sister, but her husband appeared out of the wreckage.
Based on my observation during total silence, I could have been more correct and even able to name everyone if it had been a show that I watched and was familiar with the characters. My “aha” moment came when I found out the some of the passengers were related. Their facial expressions and movements of the body let me know that they were experiencing fear, anxiety, and pain. I could also sense a slight moment of disgusts at the pilot, which turned out to be valid. Another “Aha” moment was when I found out that they people on the plane crash were interns and doctors.
From watching this episode, I learned that facial expressions are somewhat readable, and that even a person who may be deaf can sense fear in a person’s eyes. I also learned that you can tell if someone is hurt by their body movement as well. What you can’t tell from looking is if the people are related, when no fiscal contact is seen.
