Step 1
The first step in this assignment is selecting a movie/film to analyze based on concepts in Interpersonal Communication. One season of a television show will also work for this assignment, but going beyond one season is likely too much.

Step 2
Once you have your film selected, you should answer the following questions based on that movie. Be sure to completely answer each part of the question. You should explain this well enough that your professor does not even need to watch the film to understand the concepts you are referencing.

Start with a one paragraph general overview of the film, then respond to the following:

You have analyzed the characteristics of a competent communicator. Which character in this film do you think is the most competent communicator based on the traits we discussed? Why?
As you learned in this course, culture and gender have a big impact on the way we communicate. What are some of the culture and gender differences that effect interpersonal communication in the movie? Provide at least two for culture and two for gender.
Perception influences every aspect of communication. Explain how the main character’s perceptions likely affect their relationships. Then explain how your own perception influences the way you view the movie.
As we know, language is a big factor in interpersonal communication. Give at least 3 examples of language use in the movie between some of the main characters.
While language is important, we also know that nonverbal communication plays a major role in how we communicate (content vs. relational message). There are likely many facial expressions in the movie, among other nonverbal expressions, that say a lot more than words. Give at least 3 examples of nonverbal communication in the movie.
How does listening impact the way the characters in the movie relate to one another? Give at least two examples.
How do the main characters portray their emotions? Give three examples.
As we know, conflict and power are a big part of our interaction with others. Give two examples of how conflict and/or power were displayed in the movie.
The communication climate is another important aspect to consider when analyzing a communication situation. Explain one example of a supportive communication climate in the film. Also describe one example of a defensive climate.
Your choice – select any other aspect of Interpersonal Communication that has not already been discussed in the questions above and explain how it relates to the movie. For example, you could talk about some of the later chapters in the text. How is social exchange theory evident in the film? In what ways are Knapp’s Relational Stages portrayed? Pick out anything else you'd like to (that hasn't been mentioned already in the first nine questions).

The protagonist or lead character in the movie is an underprivileged African-American youngster who is adopted by a white family out of compassion.

The teenager's struggles are the subject of one section of the novel, while his development and his role in the football game are the subject of the other section.

The movie The Blind Side is a great example of interpersonal communication principles. The movie, which is based on real incidents and occasions, examines the obstacles people have to overcome to achieve in life.

The sequence where Michael Oher returns to Memphis and encounters a completely different environment forces him to interact in cross-cultural communication.

listening;
perceptual accentuation;
feedback, and
nonverbal clues,

are the focal point of the theoretical understanding illustrated in the movie.

Which character in this film do you think is the most competent communicator based on the traits we discussed? Why?

The character that is most competent in the above movie as already hinted is Michael Oher. This is because he is able to navigate the challenges associated with interpersonal communication in a multicultural situation.

What are some of the culture and gender differences that effect interpersonal communication in the movie?

In the movie, the leaning on gender differences is not really emphasized. However there is a strong play when it comes to cultural differences.

For example, Michael is first assumed to not fit in with the family due of his differences (he is black and the family is white).

Even while the connection does not seem promising at first, after Michael has lived with the family for a long, everyone learns to deal with each other's growing relationships.

How does the main character’s perceptions likely affect their relationships? How does your own perception influences the way you view the movie?

The Uncertainty Reduction Theory (URT) is well demonstrated in the movie, where uncertainties complicated the start of the connections and relationships.

People may therefore lessen the ambiguity in relationships via knowledge and understanding. This is what happens exactly in the movie. The above is also apparent to those who watch the movie.

What are least 3 examples of language use in the movie between some of the main characters?

One example of when suggestive language is used in the movie is when their language begins to suggest the growing intimacy between members of the family.

Example:

Michael being more vulnerable says to his new family "It's nice, I never had one before”

Collins Tuohy on the other hand soon starts to refer to Michael as "brother".

The other example is captured when Sean Junior tell Michael that he has to be of good behavior around the ladies.

What is an example of non-verbal communication in the movie?

In this particular movie, the form of communication that holds the center stage is non-verbal communication.

A great illustration is when, before to the collision, Michael motions to Sean Junior with his hand and eyes, pleading with the mother to let him use the automobile.

How does listening impact the way the characters in the movie relate to one another?

The idea of listening is clearly present throughout the movie.

Interpersonal connections rely heavily on listening, which is the capacity to effectively hear and evaluate signals during communication.

This is well seen in the movie when Ann and Michael's history teacher, Miss Sue, pay attention to them, which enhances Michael's performance.

How do the main characters portray their emotions?

The entire theme of the move is not just about the underprivileged African- American boy who finds companionship in an all white family, it is also about how the white family is able to demonstrate love and compassion by accommodating Michael and taking him as family.

The emotions are thus portrayed verbally and non-verbally.

Which examples show how conflict and/or power were displayed in the movie?

When Ann adopts a black adolescent (that is Michael), and initially refers to him as her son, her friends criticize her, illustrating the main conflict.

Ann tells her friends that the youngster needs family, and Michael is driven to succeed despite life's obstacles. Ann and Michael both want to improve the boy's position.

What is an example of a supportive communication climate in the film?

An example of a supportive climate is when Collins calls him Michael brother and Ann refers to him as son.

What is an example of a defensive communication climate in the film?

The best example of this is when Ann (defensively) informs her disapproving friends that Michael is determined to achieve despite hurdles in life and that the child needs family.
