American Soldier Slideshow and Captions


A) I think this is the most powerful image because I like how the picture was tooken. And once you have read the captions for every picture tooken from all the sequences of the photos you understand how he feels and what he goes through as he is in the Army. You can see his happiness and the sadness at the same time. The color in the picture gives it a good feeling too.

B) I think the sequence of photos "Coming Home" is the most powerful sequence of photos because it shows how he is ready to come home. And how he has actually made the right desicions for himself. Also the people who were there for him for when he felt down and whatnot.

C) The images worked good together to make Ian Fisher's story of his life in the army. Shows how and what things happened in order. Also shows his life as being a soldier for the army and how he felt as he completed his missions.

--------------------------------------------------------------

A) The captions in which Ian was the main subject were mainly present tense.

B) It makes the pictures more interesting and dramatic.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Ian and Buddah share a cigarette while Ian's father cleans the table for a good bye dinner before Ian leaves for the army.

Sanchez and Ian play a game of sticks while waiting for their flight towards Iraq.

Ian and Buddah hug and tear up while saying good bye before Ian leaves again for his mission for Iraq.

-------------------------------------------------------------

A) The video enhaces the pictures way better because it has the people in the story actutally talking. And actutally telling their opinons instead of oberving of what is going on in the pictures.

B) Videos are better in photographs because it actutally shows what is going on in the pictures and the tone of the persons attitude in the picture.

C) Photos are better than pictures in some ways because the picture without sound makes the picture interesing and makes you think what is actutally going on in the picture.
