A. What skills besides photography did Luis Sinco utilize to produce this slideshow? (Think about the overall presentation: audio, editing, text)
He actually got to know James Blake Miller, he was able to get close to James to show how upset Jmes was really feeling threw all the struggles he went threw. He helped James get help. He was a friend to him. He had conversations and really tried to understand him.
B. What was the effect (added power or meaning) of the multimedia effects of the slideshow?
Since it was photography and the voice over, it should how intense it really was. It added more power and meaning to the slideshow.
3. Think about the power of the overall piece.
A. What is the most powerful image from the slideshow? Why?
I think the most powerful picture was the default of him, where's he's in Iraq and all dirty with a cigarette. You can see the pain, hard work, intense, exhausted, worried look on his face, and of course his cigarette in his mouth. I like to think of it as his signature move. Him having a cigarette.
The very beginning where all the soldiers were all running out of the room, and when you see the building fill up with smoke and gunshots. That was a very power sequence, it shows the struggles they went threw and how scary it was to think when your out there your all alone. On your own.
It helps you comprehend the photos and feeling behind them better. It helps tell you more whats going on. Give the photo more emotion, to make you feel what James was feeling. Helps you understand the photo better.
They start from the beginning when he was married, until the end when he's on his own working hard to pull himself back together.
