3.) Go into the darkroom and then unfold the film. You have to make sure that there's no light getting into the darkroom. Then you load the film into the film reel. Once the film is loaded and placed in the ad cover you may turn the lights back on. After that you pour the developer into the film and make sure that there's no bubbles on it, after about a minute you pour acetic acid on it for 30 seconds so that the development would stop. Than you put water on it for 5 minutes and you, to take all the marks and white spots off pour hypo eliminator for 2 minutes. Wash it one last time for 5 other minutes, take them out of the tank and make sure not to touch the negative. Place them in a area where there's no dust. Finally in about 1-2 hours the film would be dry, you cut the film into strips, now you store the negatives in a clear glassine envelopes or PVC plastic negative pages.

4.) Developer- a reducing agent or solution for developing a film or the like.

Repetition

On this photo the giraffes skin is being repeated, the white lines is what guides you through the patterns.

A 27-day-old female Reticulated Giraffe stands beside her mother at Kanazawa Zoological Park in Yokohama, Japan.

The T.V's are whats being repeated, the screens are all the same. The thing that guides you through the frame is the white part of the plain.

The people in the green and the people in the wheel chairs is whats being repeated. The thing that guides you through the frame of this picture is the people on the side without the handicap people.

American Soldier slideshow and captions

http://photos.denverpost.com/photoprojects/specialprojects/ianfisher/photochapter4.html

A. I chose this as the most powerful picture because it shows you what the soldiers go through and what so much stress can lead to over the counter drugs and smoking.

B. I think that the most powerful slide show is the "army blues" because it shows the stress that the soldiers and also their families go through.

C. The slide shows work together to tell a story by going in order from when they sign up into the army up until when they go back home. It also has pictures that show their feelings.

A. The verbs are usually used from his point of view, and are in past tense.

B. The captions enhance the pictures because they are talking about what is actually happening in the picture. And they also tell you the actual date that they were taken.

Who said that John and his army friends cant have fun during their free time, we think its never to late to grow up.

A. The videos show the same things as the pictures except he is talking and telling us how he really felt.

B. The videos are better than the pictures because you can actually see how he is feeling and it tells us how the army really is. Also the videos have pictures and it have voice added to it so it helps us understand better.

C. The pictures are better than the videos because they have captions and if you don't understand whats happening in the video you can go back and read the captions.

Iraq Slide Show - Extra Credit

 

-I chose this picture for background because it has a plain black background. Also there's nothing else going on but the lady's face, and we can clearly understand whats going on and what his main purpose of the picture is. He took the picture from the front of the lady, that way we can see what face expression she is making.

 -I think that i chose this picture because you can clearly understand what's going on and the main thing that he took this picture. I liked that he decided to put a plain black background. And that he didn't crop anything out or put anything else on there. But i do think that it would of made it better if he would not had so much black space at the top.

-I chose this picture for creating depth because you can see that the desk, the persons, and the room have depth. One of the men is bigger than the other. The one that is standing seems to be smaller than the one sitting down so that's another way he created depth.

-I chose this picture for creating depth. There might be more photos that fit that rule but i liked this one the most. You can see where a 3-Dimensional item and also it has a pretty noticeable depth on the desk and on the two man. The shadows also help you see that there's depth.

    A. What skills besides photography did Luis Sinco utilize to produce this slideshow?
He used audio, him and another guy talked through out the presentation. Also he put some words in the presentation and he had good spelling. Also as the words passed he gave us enough time to read the whole thing.

    B. What was the effect (added power or meaning) of the multimedia effects of the slideshow?
I think that it was trying to show us what the war does to the people that take part in it. Also that they don't have fun shooting and killing other people. The war makes them change their personality. It may also even give them thoughts of suicide. Another thing that it may change the kind of people you talk to. Like him after he got back from the war he had a total different type of friends.

2)
    A. What is the most powerful image from the slideshow? Why?
To me the most powerful image in the slideshow was the one where the other soldiers were in the ground and the other soldiers were just walking past them like if they were nothing.

    B. What sequence of photographs is the most powerful? Why?
The sequence of photographs  that was the most powerful was where he was talking about how he had new friends, and that none of the friends he had before he went to war didn't talk to him. Because he changed a lot.

     C. How does the audio enhance the photographs?
The audio enhanced the photographs because the pictures that came up he would be talking about that subject. And he would describe what was happening.

    D. How do the images work together to tell a story?
They all happened in order of how the story was happening. Also as he talked he would describe it. And the pictures were in sequential order.
