      Show of Emotions-Hurumanu

      Today in drama we have been given a slideshow with two videos, we were told to watch them both and see what emotions they show. One of them was Mr bean acted by Rowan Atkinson, we had to explain what emotions they show and how we see them like body language, face expression and gestures.


      Here is the video for Mr bean...


      So what expressions did he show: So this is a classic comedy tv-series, so the emotions he showed at the very start was him being happyabout the things that were going on around him and the way I knew was that he was smiling, as he sat down he saw a man with his breakfast. Mr Bean(Rowan Atkinson) saw the man feasting on his sandwich and decided to bring a whole supermarket in his pocket. When I said supermarket I meant that he brought butter, big loaf of bread, lettuce and etc. Even a hot water bag to make his tea. He felt worried at first and then sooner or later felt happy because he can have breakfast too.

      When he was about to bite into his sandwich, he accidentally sniffed in the black pepper and then once he had the sandwich up to his nose, he sneezed into his sandwich and his tea went everywhere. That made him sad and depressed until the man offered him one of his sandwiches. He was happy again but still sad because he did not have tea. 

      Here is the second video...


      So what expressions did he show: So surprisingly I did not know that this is Johnny Depp at a young age,
