The Malboro Marine

2.
A) Luis Sinco used great timing when he did his presentation. Each slide's time up was in sinc with how powerful the photo was. I also like how the subject was presenting himself in first person through most of the slideshow, but at the end Sinco told the story of him and the subject in third person.
B) The effect of the mutlimedia was that it had the viewer feeling sympathetic towards the subject and Mr. Sinco. the whole time I was watching, I felt a sadness and a sorrow come over me that I felt truly sympathetic for.

A) The most powerful image in the slideshow was the one where Miller was holding his gun and about to shoot a target. All you could see was the gun and Miller pointing it at the target even though he felt horrible about taking another person's life. It's powerful because you can see him about to shoot a person, but in his heart he knows how wrong it is.
B) I feel the most powerful sequence of photos was the sequence where he's smoking a cigarette. I feel like this is the most powerful sequence because it is perfectly timed to make it look like his is actually doing the action sequence of smoking a cigarette. And throughout the entire slideshow, Sinco shows how fond Miller is of cigarettes, and how they seem to calm him or be his addiction.
C) The audio enhances the photos because it's as if Miller is talking about the story that is taking place in each of the photos. I also think  that the bit of audio done by Sinco at the end of the slideshow enhances how the third party views the events that happened in the war.
D) The images work together to get the essence of Miller's experience during and after he had fought in the war. It shows both the good (with his wedding) and the bad (the people he had killed) throughout the presentation and it plays along well with the audio on how Miller had felt about both sides.
