Marlboro Marine Audio Slideshow

1. Luis Sinco utilized skills such as the tone of the background music and how his texts were white with black background. Well throughout the slideshow, there was this background music sort of thing that went with the tone of the slideshow, which was sorrow/remorse. The texts here and there were also a skill that Sinco utilized because its not like it was yellow with an orange background which wouldn't fit with the slideshow because it would look like awkard in a way that wouldn't fit in.

In my opinion, the effect of the multimedia in the sllideshow was that in some parts of it, there would be like a mini clip of him just looking stressed with his head down or smoking his tragedy through a cigarette. It puts a meaning that is emphasizing how he doesn't want to remember what happened in Iraq and like then he got married to Jessica and he had a lot of mixed emotions about the attack and the newly wife and he just wants to EXPLODE!!! (Or in other words, he wants to escape from everything and DIE.) Another effect that the multimedia had on the slideshow was that the tone was set from the background music that was playing and at times it makes you put yourself in his shoes and just feel like crap.

2. I think that the most powerful image from the slideshow was in the beginning where you see soldiers just traumatized by what they had just done, which is to kill people for the benefit of their country, but really they have to kill after being taught that it was wrong no matter what. If you were to just see that image, you would be like "Wow! who knew soldiers just sat there and cried themselves out", but once you think about you would put yourselves in their shoes and be like "I can't believe what I just did that" and the images of the war would go round and round in your mind.

The most powerful sequence of photographs were the last ones where the dude was just saying how it's not right to shoot another human being regardless of what your causes are or what their causes are. I think that this sequence is powerful to me because it made me really think about how much war there is and Iraq but Milller said, "What have we gained as a country?" and it's true because everyone has their own opinion about why we are there and what we want to do about it, but is it worth it? Is it going to make us a better country?

In my opinion, the audio enhances the photographs in a way that it added that extra "spice" to it is what I would call it. The rhythm was blended in with the photos to make that sorrow kind of tone to it.

The images work together to tell the story in a way that like in one of the pictures, for instance, Miller is sad and depressed while at the same time he's saying how it's ruining his life and he just wants to get away from it, and at the same time he's saying that, the picture shows him sitting down in the carpet and there's a gun in the table, which represents that he could just pull the trigger at any time and just really escape from the war.
