With this multimedia presentation, I wanted to focus more on still images than just video. Almost all the pictures were taken from wallpapers from the movie Black Hawk Down. I felt like the photographs were really able to capture the feelings and emotions of soldiers as they fight on foreign soil for our country. However, just like the actual movie does itself, I wanted to capture the sad, dark side of war, instead of the picture perfect, appealing images we are constantly desensitized with on the Military commercials we see on TV everyday. I used the zooming techniques to direct the focus of the viewer throughout the video. I also thought the music set the right tone and mood that I wanted. Although the battle in the movie is not related to the war in Iraq, war is still war and I thought that these pictures could still properly convey that message.

Very effective combination of music and imagery. Your point of view really comes across through the combinations you chose. The zoom-in on Bush of course really adds to that. The quotes at the end really drawn you after that too-such a contrast to all that has come before. The right justification indicates that this is the "end" metaphorically to the statement that you are making as well. Nicely done!
