American Soldier
A. I think the most powerful image is the photo of him with his stuff getting ready to board the plane to go to Iraq. This is the most powerful because it really shows Ians commitment.
B. The images work together to tell a story by creating some kind of timeline by capturing these images as he's on his adventure.
C. The captions enhance the photos by giving more information than what the picture shows and it explains more about his experience.
D. Ian enlists to join the Army and after he graduates he officially joins them. He has to go to training and has to say bye to his friends and parents and on the second day of training he re aggravates a childhood injury in his elbow. 8 weeks into his training they go through a simulation where they have explosions going off around them. After the training Ian gets to go home for a weekend and goes ring shopping with his girlfriend. Eventually after more training he leaves for Iraq.
E. For the photos with Ian as the main subject the captions are written in present tense
F.
1. On average these captions are about three sentences
2. The first sentence of the captions explain what is going on in the photo
3. The second sentence lets you know more about whats going on that you can't get from the photo
4. On the photos that have a third sentence, that sentence is usually a quote
5. Yes
6. Yes
G. I think that its possible to tell a story with just photos and captions because the pictures themselves have meanings to them and the captions can help explain more like writing a story would.
H. The only reason I think there is a story written with these photos is because they really wanted to highlight and explain every little detail of what Ian went through as he was going through training and while he was in Iraq.
