This week we talked about kinetics. In short they are physical things a person does is in reaction to a situation such as facial expressions, body language, gestures, and posture. To test how well I understood the material this week I wanted to view the Lady Gaga song "Telephone" with kinetics in mind.
The first major emotion I noticed being portrayed through kinetics was the guards dislike of Gaga. They are rough as they lead her to her cell and push her around once she is in there. The kinetics being used her are body language to display how they feel distain. For contrast later in the video a different guard is leading Gaga into a prison yard and that guard treats her much gentler showing that this guard doesn't have the same level if dislike.
Once Gaga is out of prison we can see another example of nonverbal communication. She gets in a car with Beyoncé and we can tell immediately that she is upset with Gaga. She has an unamused expression on her face then says that Gaga has been "A very bad girl. A very, very bad BAD girl Gaga". After that she angerly takes a bite out of a honey bun, then offers it to Gaga. When Gaga takes a bit and doesn't let go, Beyoncé rips it out of her mouth.
In the post prison part of the video there is even more kinetics, but the post would be WAY too long if I talked about all of them. I encourage you to look for yourself as its a really cool music video and a banger of a song.
