The actors use body language by showing every motion in the way they touch, feel surprised, get hurt etc. with the way they move their bodies to help communicate with the audience. They use gestures by helping to show the audience what they are doing and helping the audience envision what the actors want to show them. The actors use facial expressions to communicate with the audience how their characters are feeling and how the situation that they are trying to convey makes their character feel. The film maker used "cue cards" or information inserts to indicate characters, settings and events to help the audience in understanding the situation in a way that the actors simply could not without verbal communication or just seeing be spelled out.

The actors use body language to communicate with the audience by exaggerating every motion and showing it clearly on his/her face. When the wife climbs into the other car, the husband can clearly be described as filled with rage. By using facial expressions, the actors can portray their emotions about their situation and conflict for the characters. The person on the bike puts out an expression of confusion until the husband explains the conflict with the other man and his wife. The film maker uses "cue cards" to clarify the characters actions and words. In the pantomime world, words are not allowed. Also, we can understand the plot line easier with the including of the information inserts. These inserts can indicate characters, setting(s), and events that occur within the film.

The actors used body language and facial expressions to communicate to the audience their feelings, at that moment. Therefore, we could distinguish or assume what the actors thoughts were upon a particular situation. Their gestures helped communicate to the audience what the center focus should be in that certain scene. Together these elements helped to better communicate to the audience the plot of the story, and what they should gather from it. The filmmaker used " cue cards" to help the audience navigate the story. This helped the audience understand when there was a change in setting or span of time. This also provided the dialogue, so the audience was able to follow the story and the interactions and developments of each character. So, then we were not left to wonder what the exchanges were between two characters, and there was never a worry of aspects of the story being somewhat confusing to the audience.

The actors used exaggerated facial expressions and body movements to portray a scene or feeling. Without the use of words, gesture is necessary to convey emotion. Cue cards are used to guide the audience in what is supposed to be happening. Not all scenes are easy to act without using words, so cue cards come in handy. They also add some comedy and one line jokes to the film.

Their gestures help get the audience to understand whats going on and what they're portraying, without using words. It also shows what they're doing or thinking about.
