I believe the most powerful image in the slideshow might have been when he was leaning over the park meter. this shows how people can be so hurt, even in the modern world. gives off the urban feeling.
the whole story was a sequence of photos. the powerful part about everything is just the moments that he captures of the soldier. He brings out the emotion of things that normally might not be noticed by just grazing across the photos.
the audio is original, sad, acoustic, bringing out the mood captured in the photos taken. the story tells a brief life story of one individual that goes through things that do not happen to the everyday citizen. tonality so to speak is expressed with the music.
the images tell a story because of the sequencing that they are in. for instance, when they talk about Iraq and the war, pictures of soldiers appear before the viewer helping portray an image with the words instead of motion picture.

Reflection
challenges to getting close to someone. People tend to be shy. its nnot always easy to get them to just allow you to get all up in their face. also find the right pictures. I couldnt really go into many classrooms, only because some many of the pictures in the hallway were amongst lecture. otherwise, the new tech building was generally lenient with the whole picture taking, so I took what 5 photos I was left with there.
the thing that popped up the most in my head was particularly one photo. I was trying to get a young woman studying a text, but unfortunately, there were many chairs around her so I had to find the right angle to avoid the least amount of things coming out of her head. I told myself to rely on photoshop later for finishing touches. I will attempt to be a little less content to others, also, I will be aware of the situations at hand, such as, others using too much film.

Avoiding Mergers Balance Cropping
Background Framing Leading Lines creating depth Viewpoint
Avoiding Mergers Balance Cropping
What the pros are using: sports
1.f/4.0
2.1/500
3. easier, smoother image for moving shots.
4. EF 50mm
5. this gives it a wider angle to shoot the photo
6. I believe he was standing just on the top left hand corner of the outside end zone.

Making the Masterpeice
Load the film onto a reel and place it into a tank. Unfortunately you have to do it blind so you better be ready to screw up. Tools you need: film cassette can opener, film reel, tank and tank cover. Place them in order and memorize their positions, turn off the light and your ready to hit the road.
Step one, remove the film from the cassette. Remember that you will be working in total darkness, so be careful with what you are doing. Pull the flat end off the canister with the can opener. Unwind the entire case of film from the canister by peeling off the tape that holds it down.
Step two, load the film onto a plastic or metal film reel. Its recommend for bigginers to use the plastic reel other than metal. Metal requires more dexterity than the plastic one, so its recommended to practice with the plastic one. Slide one end of the film onto the outer edges of the reel and guide it around the reel until it is completely loaded.
Also it is recommended that you practice the above steps of putting the film onto the reel in the daylight with a “sacrificial” roll of film that way you can get the feel for it and more fully comprehend the idea.
Step 3. place the loaded reel with your film and place it in the film tank, and cover it as directed. You are now able to turn on film lights.
Step 4: go through the soup process for developing film
Watch your temperature of the room that you are developing in. most developing temperatures recommend the environment to be anything between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Over heating a picture can lead to an effect on the photo that will over grain the texture. Its fun to play with but not if you are going to try to get the best negative as possible.
After you go through your process, you do not have to worry about exposing your film into the light so you can take it out of its case and then place it into cold running water. Inspect the film, and make sure the negatives are there. Use the hypo eliminator to remove all races of the fixer to avoid appearance blemishes.
Final wash for 5 minutes
CAREFULLY remove the film from the tank, DO NOT TOUCH. Dry in a dust free area.
Wait for about 2 hours and the fiom will be dried. Cut into strips of six negatives long. Use proper storage in glassine envelopes, and you are done with developing negatives.
