American Soldier slideshow and captions

2.) A. the most powerful picture the chapter five nineteenth photo. There's no distraction in the background and so the subjects just stand out well. I think this picture is great even though it's unbalanced, the army men just look strong and i think it's a good picture.
B. I think all of chapter one is a strong sequence of photos because it shows the soldier enlisting in the army and you can see the emotion not only in his eyes but also his parents. It shows the realities of going into the army straight out of high school it's pretty moving.
C. These images show the main points of Ian's life and they tell a story because the images come right after the other. Like every picture tells a section of the whole story, but these pictures work well together.  They all fit so well together and there's so much emotion in each picture. It's like his whole life wrapped up in a few pictures.
3) A. The verbs are usually written in present tense.
B  The captions enhance the photos because they say what the picture is showing. However, they give you some insight and what Ian is saying or thinking at the time that the picture was taken.They also tell you what the picture doesn't, like what happens after or right before the picture was taken.
4) 1. Chapter 8: Coming Home
Picture number 18.
Ian Fisher toasts with his friends Jonathan and Harvey on the night he gets home from Iraq while his girlfriend, Jenny, is in the background just watching. This is the first time Ian has seen Johnathan and Harvey in over a year and they toast to making more memories and having more fun times just like the good ol' days.
2. Chapter 2: In The Army
Picture number 6.
Ian Fisher closes his eyes and reminisces while he is getting his hair shaved his third day in the army. Ian has had his head shaved multiple so this is no big deal for him.
3. Chapter 5: Army Blues
Picture number 24.
Ian's dad, Mark, wakes him up for his big day to go to Basic Training in Little Rock, Arkansas. Ian's mother was in the kitchen cooking him up a good breakfast for his last day at home.
5)
A. 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.
B. Videos are sometimes better than photographs because you don't have to analyze the picture to figure out what all is going on, videos just tell and show you everything. They use the elements of SOUND along with sight to tell a story, whereas pictures just use sight. An example would be the Video Chapter 2-First Days and Second Thoughts video.
C. I think videos are better than photographs because with photographs you can see the emotion but in videos not only can you see it but you can also hear it. I just think videos tell the story better because you can hear a lot of different points of view whereas you can only see one side of things in photographs.
