1a) I choose #77 as the most powerful picture because its a very special
moment whenever a solider is able to return home to their family and
friends alive.
1b) Set #1 At home in Denver, 1-9
Set #2 At Basic Training, 10-50
Set #3 In Iraq 51-75
Set #4 Back in Denver 76-83
I believe that Set #2 is the most powerful because it shows the
transition of an ordinary young man into a grown and tough army guy. He
has to go through the struggles of transformation and leaving his
family.
1c) The images work together to show the timeline of how the transition
happened, before entering the army and his journey throughout all the
way to the end of leaving the army.
3. Present Tense
4. Ian patiently sits in a chair as one of the leaders shaves his head
bald with an electric razor. All of the Army members look similar with
the same haircut so Ian's appearance blends in with the other's during
Basic Training in their bedroom.
5a. It gives more background to the pictures and the captions that are already provided.
5b. The videos tells and lays out exactly how each picture came upon. It
explains the unknown details rather than just explaining what was
happening at the moment. For example, from the pictures you couldn't
tell that his parents were divorced and we had a very close bond with
his father.
5c. The photos can be better than the videos because it captures the
moment and you're able to create your own assumptions of how the story
went.
