American Soldier slideshow and captions

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

The first picture in the slideshow Life in Iraq. I think the photo is very powerful, I love how the background lighting makes the rest of the photo look like a shadow.

In the Army. It shows the determination he put to get it, how important it was to him, and all the hard training and work he went threw.

They start from the very first thing that happened in the sequence and work there way to the very last thing that happen, there fore 'telling a story'.

A. How do these other features enhance the photographs?

Well not only do you have the videos for background information but you also have captions to tell you whats happening in the photo and they are set up as a telling a story sequence.

B. In what ways are videos better than photographs? Provide an example from the Denver Post Web site.

In signing up, the video was better than the photographs, because you got a better look and you actually know the background information and what it took, or got a view from Ian himself, his dad, mom ect.

C. In what ways are photos better than videos? Provide an example from the Denver Post Web site. 

Some of the photos are better cause you can actually see some of the action that he faced as for the video he just explained what he went threw and with the picture you actually got a visual image. Army blues.
