Since the show is filmed in a documentary or cinema verite style, characters often look at the camera, or even say their lines to the camera for added comedic effect. In this situation, Ann casts many uncomfortable looks at the camera as Leslie unloads all of the study materials, snacks, and energy drinks from the dolly she has loaded-up for Ann's all-night cram session. Ann looks at the camera in order to avoid actually telling Leslie that she is not as excited about the interview as her friend. Keeping the format of the show in mind, it is more complicated to determine whether or not the camera acts as an intermediary in the conversation, but since the camera offers no actual verbal input of its own, we will argue here that there is no intermediary in the conversation. Despite Ann's uncomfortable looks at the camera, she does actually communicate her concerns to Leslie, once she is finally done unloading the litany of study materials from the dolly.

Leslie in turn responds to Ann and successfully convinces her to attend the interview after explaining the perks of the new job, that it would be a service to the community, and also that it would be less visually explicit and hands-on than nursing. These exchanges meet the criteria of immediate feedback, and because the two friends are facing each other in person, and even reach out to physically touch at one point, they are experiencing the maximum sensory input through sight, sound, and touch. Again, this conversation qualifies as an example of interpersonal communication from the situational perspective because the conversation involves two characters who are in close, physical proximity, without an intermediary, are giving immediate feedback to each other with the maximum sensory output.

When evaluated from the developmental perspective, this same conversation becomes more complicated, although it does qualify as an example of interpersonal communication.
