Photo Essay Reflection

One thing in some of the photo essays that i liked were the introduction words and the music that went really well with the theme. I liked the short sentences because it gave an idea of where the story was going and it made a big impact depending on how it was worded. The pictures did not stay up too long, which was good too.
I didn't like how sometimes there were too many pictures of one thing and then there wasnt enough time to catch other perspectives or the ending of the story.
I would put more animation into the pictures to make it go with the different school ages and make an introduction.
It was hard at times when you didn't know where to go, but with an idea in your head, it was easy to piece the pictures together and make a story. It was fun and it was not as hard or complicated as making a video, but it still could have had the same impact. Telling a story with pictures really leads people to reflect on what they're seeing and not just watch it for fun. In my opinion, a picture essay is almost the same as a movie because they both tell a story, just in different ways.
