A. What skills besides photography did Luis Sinco utilize to produce this slide show?

Luis Sinco used his photograph to express James Blake Miller emotions and thoughts, about his story and struggles. Luis used editing and text to show when something big happened in Blake's life. The music Luis put on the slide show was depressing. In my eyes it was how James felt.


B. What was the effect (added power or meaning) of the multimedia effects of the slide show?

The video was very sad and many people in Iraq could relate. People who were in the war or coming back from it, are never the same. Every thing they went through in the Iraq will be there in there minds until the day they die. The pictures form the war added a lot of power to this slide show because it showed how bad the conditions could be toward anything it added a lot of effect and emotion. The meaning behind the photos is telling the story of a great man that fought for our country, protecting his love ones, and my love ones.

A. What is the most powerful image from the slideshow? Why?

The most powerful image from the slideshow was the where his wife was sitting on the bed while he was looking out the window, when Blake was saying he had brought his own problems upon him and Jessica didnt deserve to have all of his problems. He seemed like he still loved her but there was so many problems going on in his life that he doesnt want to her involve.


B. What sequence of photographs is the most powerful? Why?

I think the most powerful sequence was when he was riding his bike and deciding whether to ride his bike into a mountain side or ride it off the top of one. When he closed his eyes the slide show went black showing that he was closing his eyes.


C. How does the audio enhance the photographs?

Audio enhances a photo in such a way that it give you a deeper feel to the photo and it gives you an opportunity to make a connection with the photo based on your experience and how you feel.


D. How do the images work together to tell a story?

The images work together by telling Blacks life story after he felt when he was coming home from iraq. Each photo has a meaning behind it while i was watching the video all i could think to myself was i want to know more about Blake and more about each video.
