American Soldier : Slideshow and Captions

2a. I think the most powerful picture was in the "signing up" album. It was the guy and either his freind or his brother or family were sitting in the back of his truck and it was powerful because they really seem sad. They seem emotional.



2b. The most powerful sequence of pictures is the "first assignment" album. Because it shows in various pictures some of the problems he went through and had to endure.



2c. The images work together to tell a story in the form that they were all arranged in order and seperate. They show event after event following him around. To catch every moment of his life even when in Iraq.



3a. The captions are talking of Ian in passed tense.



3b. The captions enhance the pictures because you know for sure what is going on. You're not only guessing what is going on.

4a. Under Chapter 8: Coming Home,

5a. These other features enhance by explaining really what is going through his mind.

5b. The videos are better than the photos in the way that they are more interesting.

5c. The photos may be better in the form that they may be showing more. not only the same scene.

Malboro Marine Slideshow

2a. This photgrapher caught perfect moments. As he added his voice to the pictures it gave this feeling of reality. It reassured me that this is what is really happening.



2b. The effects were things like, how close he got to the subjects of his pictures. Adding the voice commentaries to the whole slideshow.



3a. The most powerful picture was where it was close to the Marines face. He caught this Marine with this expression on his face as he smoked that cigaret. It was like a "save me" expresion.



3b. The first couple of pictures were the strongest because they show actual pictures of the war that is going on at that moment. He placed himself in danger to take those close ups.

3c. The audio added a lot to the pictures because it makes you feel more into the picture, like you can understand what was happening through their mind. You feel yourself in the picture.

3d. The images show basically step by step what is happening, along to the audio telling the story.

Post shoot reflection

1. I really had problems getting people to concentrate when I was around. They would either be all squirmy or they would pose when I would say not to. It was difficult for them to concentrate.

2. I was trying to get different views on things. I didn't want all the pictures to be from the same angle and same subject doing the same thing as the other picture that I previously took.

3. I tried very hard to keep Rule of Thirds in mind. I tried that simplicity which was a failure for most of the part but rule of thirds seemed to work out well, and also I liked using point of view.

4. I think I would go over the rules of composition and see examples. So I could get an idea of what exactly it was I needed to take a better photographs.
