It was pretty fun doing the videos of our set activity. I was more intrigued than I thought I would be, it was interesting to think how different people could do the same task so differently. Also it was cool to see how people reacted to someone wearing a hat with an obvious camera on, you could always tell when someone was looking straight into the camera. Watching my own video was weird since you could see how I walked and what I looked at in the process of doing our activity. It was also cool to hear what was being said at the time and the different sounds people heard even though we will not hear that in class when we see the videos. The only thing that sucked about doing our videos was we had to change our plan since the place we were originally going to go to was closed. With that though I thought it would have been interesting to go ahead and do your own thing and not tell the next person the place was closed and see how people treated the situation of the place being closed, whether they went somewhere else or they went back to the group to find out what they were supposed to do.
Things that I think you could notice that are non-obvious are the way someone walks or you can tell when someone is short or tall no matter where the camera was. You can also notice what they are looking at to maybe tell what gender they are. The speed of the walk could also be key along with where they are looking whether it was in front of them or down or somewhere else. You could also look at how people reacted to the person recording and whether or not they were familiar with a place.
All in all I think looking at the classes videos will be fun and figuring out who is who will be a challenge. Using the non-obvious things in the video will be tough for some people I think, including myself, but will be entertaining for everyone
