Communication - Process, Types

 Communication

The process of passing any information from one person to the other person with the aid of some medium is termed as communication. The first party who sends the information is called the sender and the second party who receives the information, decodes the information, and accordingly responds is called the receiver or the recipient. Thus, in simpler terms communication is simply a process where the sender sends the information to the receiver for him to respond.


 The Communication Process Communication process is a simple process where a message is being transferred from a sender to the receiver. The receiver after receiving the message understands the message in the desired form and then acts accordingly. The Process of Sending the Message The first party or the sender first thinks of information, whatever he intends to communicate or transfer to the others. Then he puts the information or the message in words or prepare a content. The process of putting the thoughts in words is called encoding. Finally, the content after being ready is transmitted to the receiver. The Process of Receiving the Message The message reaches the sender, who then decodes the message or in simpler terms breaks the information, understands it, and responds to the receiver. The sender also gives feedback to the receiver after he has understood the complete information. Communication in simpler terms is a process of passing the information from the first party (sender) to the second party (receiver). Communication plays a vital role not only in organizations or one’s professional career but also is essential in day to day life.



Different Types of Communication 

Verbal Communication 

• Verbal communication is a type of communication where the information flows through verbal medium like words, speeches, presentations etc.

• In verbal communication the sender shares his/her thoughts in the form of words. In organizations, individuals communicate verbally among each other in the form of dialogues, speech, presentations, discussions to name a few.

 • The tone of the speaker, the pitch and the quality of words play a crucial role in verbal communication. The speaker has to be loud and clear and the content has to be properly defined. Haphazard and unorganized thoughts only lead to confusions and misunderstandings among individuals. 

• In verbal communication, an individual must understand the importance of words and how to put them across. 

• In verbal communication it is the responsibility of the sender to cross check with the receiver whether he has downloaded the correct information or not and the sender must give the required response. Nonverbal communication

 • Imagine yourself in a situation, where you can’t speak but have to communicate an urgent information to the other person or for that matter, you are sitting in an important meeting and you want to express your displeasure or pleasure to your colleague without uttering even a word. Here nonverbal mode of communication comes into picture. 

• Facial expressions, gestures, hand and hair movements, body postures all constitute nonverbal communication. 

• Any communication made between two people without words and simply through facial movements, gestures or hand movements is called as nonverbal communication. 

• In other words, it is a speechless communication where content is not put into words but simply expressed through expressions If one has a headache, one will put his hand on his forehead to communicate his discomfort - a form of nonverbal communication. 

Nonverbal communications are vital in offices, meetings and even in romantic chats.

 Visual Communication

 • In visual communication, the recipient receives information from signboards, displays, hoardings, banners, maps etc. The sign board of Mc Donald’s or KFC indicates eating joints - a form of visual communication. 

• The sign board of “No Parking Zone” communicates to the individuals that any vehicle must not be parked in the vicinity - again a mode of visual communication. Vision plays a very important role in visual communication and it depends on the recipient how to interpret the message.

PRINT RECOGNITION OF PRINTING PROCESSES

When viewing a printed sample it is often difficult to tell which process has been used simply by looking at it with the naked eye. However, if a printed sample of the text area is examined with the use of a magnifying glass, the following characteristics are visible.  • Clean edges around Lithographic print  • Outline edges around Flexographic/Letterpress print  • Dotted edges around Gravure print  • Coarse/dotted edges or clean edges around Screen print, depending on screen mesh used  It is undoubtedly a considerable asset to be able to determine with reasonable accuracy the printing process or processes by which an item of printed matter has been produced. There are a number of characteristics or clues which, if they can be discerned, make identification of the process possible, but not necessarily simple. Indeed, there are some jobs where it is very difficult to identify the relevant process or processes, even to those having considerable experience, and the...

180-Degree Rule

Establishing the Line of Action The 180-Degree Rule is a guideline in filmmaking for where it's best to place the camera when filming a scene, so that the audience doesn't get confused about the geographical relationship between the characters. The rule states that these characters should always have the exact same left and right relationship to each other in every camera setup. To establish the 180-degree line, draw an imaginary line from one character's nose to the other, that runs straight through the two characters (not between them). This imaginary line is called the Line of Action (also known as The Line, Axis of Action, or the 180-line.) Once you have a line of action established, you should only place the camera on one side of the line (left or right). Crossing the Line When the 180-Degree Rule is broken, it is called Crossing (or Jumping) The Line . This typically happens because the camera has moved across the Line of Action. Shots that have crossed the line c...
