Nonverbal communication

Nonverbal communication is arguable 93% of all communication. When producing the storyboard for my animation (tightrope walker). It was decided to use the emotions of nervousness (apprehension), happiness and surprise. As these are mainly nonverbal attributes, it was necessary to demonstrate these emotions through subtlety's in the movement alongside facial expression. However, it was difficult to portray the emotion of surprise as the camera is not looking at his face. At this point it is assumed that the audience will having progressed through the narrative assume that the character is surprised at what happened. During animation this emotion (nonverbal communication) will be emphasized through sound.
