A. How do these other features enhance the photographs? The way the videos enhance the photographs is that they show you how the photos told a story just like the video. A video shows the "true Person".
B. In what ways are videos better than photographs? Provide an example from the Denver Post Web site.The way that videos are in a way better that photographs is that you can experience the true emotion of the Person. You can really see this strong emotion during the Realities of War video were Ian is talking about the disturbing and heart braking experiences he has seen in Iraq.
C. In what ways are photos better than videos? Provide an example from the Denver Post Web site. In a way that photos are better than videos is that the photos give the viewer a good chance to think of what is going on in Ian's head, the viewer trys to put him/herself in his shoes. when Ian is in training and he sit on the rock after his team has been giving a chance to rest due to the high temperatures, Ian is very thoughtful as he sits there. This gives the viewer of the photo a urge to try to think what Ian is feeling and makes the photo way more interesting that if you were to watch a video giving you the answer, it would be not as interesting.
