American Soldier slideshow and captions

2A.
I think the most powerful picture is the one in "signing up" because the person who enlisting in the army and you can see the emotion not only in his eyes but also his parents and friends. It shows the realities of going into the army straight out of high school and to me its pretty powerful.


2B.
"Basic training" is the strongest sequence of photos because it has alot of action and along with emotion. There is a lot happening in the photo's which makes them more interesting to look at and take interest in.


2C.
The pictures worked to tell a story by being when he graduated from high school to enlisting in the army and things to him in the army in training, through Iraq then him coming home to see his family. Like every picture tells a section of the whole story, but these pictures work so well together because after one section, or one picture, the next picture comes and tells another section.


3A.
They are written in present tense.


3B.
The captions enhance the photos because they give a deeper and fuller meaning to photo, to understand what the photo is about. However, they don't tell you what happens after or right before the picture was taken.

In chapter one Jennifer Ian girlfriend on the day before he has to leave they went to the carnival where they were alone on the fares wheel, where they had a moment and had a passionate kiss.


*2.
In chapter 2, Ian closes his eyes while he is getting his hair shaved his third day in the army. Ian has had his head shaved many times before so this is no big deal for him.


*3
In chapter 3, Ian hold a gun out of one of a hundred times before. Many things going through his mind.


5A.
These videos enhance the photographs because they basically give a detailed description about the photographs and you can hear the emotion in the voices and the background music just enhances the sadness around them.
5B.
Videos are sometimes better than photographs because they use the elements of sound along with sight to tell a story, whereas pictures just use sight.


5C.
Photos are better than videos because photographs you can see the emotion and analyze whats going on in your head but in videos not only can you see it but you can also hear it.
