Directing and Communication

Communication

The process of passing any information form 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 of the recipient. Thus in simpler terms communication is simply a process where the sender sends the information to the receiver for him to respond.

Communication process

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 other. 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.
