Nonverbal message is “all the message we send in ways that transcend spoken or written words” (Verderber 84). One of the many nonverbal messages seen was eye contact. Eye contact is very important in communication and is used to convey emotion in the film. For example, when Kat and Patrick are on the rope swing and they end up staring into each other’s eyes the audience can see the affection that is beginning to grow between the two.

I also had problems talking front of group of people, I would get really nervous and forget everything I was supposed to say.
