American Soldier slideshows and captions

2)

A. This is a powerful image because it shows their emotions and how sad they are that they had to leave home.

B. The most powerful sequence of photographs would be the "signing up" pictures. It shows a pattern of his path from graduating til he had to leave home. Ian was trying to have a good time with his family and friends before he had to leave. The pattern of the pictures goes from when he graduated, when he spent times with his family and friends and finally the day that he had to pack up.

C. The images work together to tell a story by showing snapshots of actions to describe what is happening in the pictures.

A.The features in the videos enhance the photographs by giving the audience a clearer idea of the story and it shows how the characters feel towards what was happening.

B. The videos give you more information about the story behind the pictures beside just relying on the captions to figure out the story by yourself. An example of the video would be when his mother talks about how she was there to sign the papers work with her son. She asked him if he really wants to do this and he said yes. And also his dad talks about how Ian decided to join the army and that he respects his decision.Without watching the video,I wouldn't have known that Ian Fisher had an option to refuse the service that he was offered. I originally thought that Ian was required to go but he actually made the decision to join the army.

C. There are some ways that the photos are better than the videos because there's more details in the photos. The photos give you a visual imagination of what the people are talking about in the video. The photos also show you what was happening and who the characters were, etc. An example in the video would be when everybody was expressing how emotional they were when Ian was leaving but don't you really want to know how they looked? and what they did for him before he had to leave? Basically photos and videos work together to convey the story to the audience.
