Manipulation and ethics

a. The story of the website is about manipulation and ethics that are in the journalism community. The website explains how digitally changing you pictures to another product is not ethical. The page gives example of journalist that have done this and the consequences are the loss of job and their credibility. The website also infers that the common ethical rule is not to lie because you are making a distrusting relationship between you and the reader.
b. This type of enhancing is unethical because the pictures are telling a lie and not the truth they are basically hiding it. Also putting things that never happened or altering with other objects in the picture is not ethical for the same reason that you are taking someone else's work or lying to your readers. By looking at the photographs this is unethical because most of the things that were edited never happened they were just selfish to give credit to someone or attract viewers. This is not ethical because through this a photographer is conveying false messages and the articles are supposed to tell you the truth. The photograph of Clinton and Fidel Castro for example it is false because like it says in the caption it never happened.

A. The most powerful photograph in the slide show is the image of the little girl herding he sheep. The reason this image is powerful is because it shows the poverty the country is going through. Not only that but the image of the little girl makes it powerful because in our country a girl at that age would be in school.

B. The sequence of photographs that are more powerful are (in country) because they capture what the country look like and what the soldiers do in their time. The reason it is powerful is because they got more meaning than just the other ones where he is at home.

C. The images work together by displaying images of the daily life before, after and during the time he is in Iraq this help create a story because they paint a picture off what he felt like and created other perceptions.

A. The verbs in the pictures are present verbs like if it is actually happening right now.

B. The captions explain the photograph more vividly thus making it easier to make a story behind the pictures.

A. Ian flinches at the though of having his shot which is one of the requirement before going to Iraq.

Ian tires to keep the tower of wood blocks balanced in order to beat his partner.
Ian and his girlfriend discuss about where to put the other furniture in their new apartment.
5.

a.By making a video and actually having the main subject of the picture telling what is happening enhances the image because now it has a better credibility.

b. The videos are better than images in the way you can put music or words which create a better way for people to understand what is happening in the images. Like the first video the subjects of the photograph tell what is happening or how they felt making a better understanding of the photograph itself.

c. Images are better than videos in the fact that they let the viewer imagine what is happening it lets them have an open mind and appreciate more detail. The picture of him sweeping in the halls for example you look at his expression of the face see what around him and make and assumption of why he is there instead of some telling you what is happening you use your imagination.

Marlboro marin audio slideshow

Luis used lots of skills in the video. like making a slide show, adding music to the back ground, adding effect,and also implemented voice. The effects that were created were as if it were either a biography instead of a slide show.The best image in the slide show would be the one where miller is looking at the sunset and the photographer used the shattered glass to add a frame the lighting was perfect and also it showed emotion which made the picture come to life. The sequence of photographs that are the most important are the ones where he is in the war because they show raw emotions in them. That creates the projection of the emotions to the viewer of the picture. The images work together to tell a story because it is as if that moment has been frozen in a paper and shows emotions that a person can explain better. Putting several images in a sequence makes a story even better because they will tell a story with more detail.
