1.What skills besides photography did Luis Sinco utilize to produce this slideshow? 

Luis Sinco used a lot of different skills in this slideshow, he uses video editing software to put together  his  slideshow and to give effects to the picture and layer the audio and visuals. I also think that the

short, bluntness of  his sentences really sticks out and gets straight to the point, but also makes you remember them.

2. What was the effect (added power or meaning) of the multimedia effects of the slideshow?

The multimedia effects of the slideshow helped me to make sense of what Blake was talking about. It's a lor easier to listen to a lot of speaking when you have a visual to look at. The video parts of the slideshow were really interesting to me because they were placed when he wasn't talking, kind of like a bridge to the next thing he was going to say. 

3.What is the most powerful image from the slideshow? Why?
To me, almost ever picture in the slideshow gave me a reaction. They were all so sad and you could see how much he was hurting, BUT the most powerful, to me, was the image where you see his silhouette in his uniform through the bullet-hole splintered glass. That picture i feel also is the way he feels, his life shattered by bullets.

4.What sequence of photographs is the most powerful? Why?
The most powerful sequence of images to me was in which there were only two. Its where he is standing by the window, as a silhouette, and his wife, Jessica is sitting on the mattress on the floor, then he says that they're better off alone, it's the same picture, just Jessica is gone and he's by himself in t he room. This sequence made my really sad, because it shows them together, and even though she's sad, the room looks fuller, but when she's gone it looks so cold and foreboding
5.How does the audio enhance the photographs?
The audio enhances the photographs because while he's talking, and you're listening to him talk, you  have something to look at and reiterate what he's saying.
6.How do the images work together to tell a story?
The pictures all work together to tell the story because of the words and the emotions behind them, but they still leave a little room for interpretation by the audience.
