In the poem War Photograph, Kate Daniels immediately expects us to know which photograph she is talking about as soon as she gets past the first verse (which describes the photo in question) which explains why it is so short.No matter what pictures you look at, most of them will give a keyhole effect, for example, in War Photograph that is the main theme of the poem.After this, she explains in the second stanza about the rest of the war; what we can’t see from the photo.On the other hand, War Photographer mentions this keyhole effect briefly, and then moves on.In conclusion, War Photograph, to me, gives the best detail, and has more overall impact in comparison to War Photographer due to the use of language and structure, how it seems mo...

Mrs. B Preedy wrote the source in her book in 1992 based on her diary of the war years.As you can see from source 14 the lady tells us that the people staying with not only make the dreary war tolerable but often make it enjoyable.Source 11 is a written source which is a primary source because it has been written during the war so we can see the allowance the government provided for evacuees.By looking at source 9 which is a secondary source written later after the war, I can see that the evacuees obviously liked there evacuation areas.I don’t think there was an aim for the photo when it was taken, I think it was a parent taking a photo of their child as they leave.

(2003).The photo shows how life can affect one’s behaviour and attitude.On certain times it teaches them something that they may never realize, for example, the histories of the World War I and World War II, of how the soldiers tried so hard just to live so they have to fight to get it.United Kingdom: St. Martin’s Press.

Even to the point of physical danger as was the case with Smith who suffered a near fatal wound during his World War II coverage and then again nearly three decades later when he was mauled in Japan for covering a story implicating a factory for mercury poisoning.Interpreting the beauty and effect of a photo is an abstract process.I would that my photographs might be, not the coverage of a news-event but and indictment of war – the brutal corrupting viciousness of its doing to the minds and bodies of men; and that my photographs might be a powerful emotional catalyst to the reasoning which would help this vile and criminal stupidity from beginning again.There is however a poignancy and power that makes the viewer want to look at the phot...

Feature films were also produced; the aim was to make good films that contained messages from the government about the war.Its job was to supply information on the war, and give guidance and advice to the media.Photographs were not always censored because they showed death and disasters of the worst kind, but also because they portrayed the misery and angst of civilians (photo 1), and depicted the widening gap between the way of life of the working classes in comparison to the middle classes (photo 2).Posters with slogans were also used to warn, inform and encourage war effort.At the time, film was one of the most powerful mediums of communication and was therefore used for propaganda during the war.

A popular example of photo enhancement can be seen in celebrity before and after shots (Images 2 & 3).“Many photojournalists think it is harmless to make minor touch-ups for visual aesthetics so long as they don’t go ‘too far’.Should we publish photographs of war and conflict if it makes people feel uncomfortable and gets in the way of politics or justice?Kobre states “staging or manipulating pictures can be highly damaging to careers.” A recent example of this is the Sacramento Bee photo (Image 1) that was manipulated by an award-winning photographer who used Photoshop to put two photos together to produce a better picture.is it corrupt?” : School of Communication, Charles Sturt University, Bathurst Centre for Applied Philosophy and...

Both poems how hard it can be to get on with your life if someone close to you dies, but also, how easy it is if it doesn’t affect you, just like the newspaper readers.Although these poems are over seventy years apart, there isn’t really any change in the way people react to loss.Both of these poems deal with the emotional impact of war on the families of its victims.The first, of course, is the photo developing and the picture forming.They are saddened, then cry, they are angry and like the mother, depressed.

My feelings towards source A9, a photo of two men badly disabled from the war which might have been used for propaganda purposes, is sympathy.My opinion of the war poets are they were all depressed and found war difficult so they wrote poems to show this.Seigfried Sassoon serviced was an officer who suffered from shell shock and had come to the conclusion that the War was pointless.Official war artists were commissioned by the government to paint pictures/images of the war.The poem ‘Suicide in the trenches’ by Siegfried Sassoon tells the story of a ‘simpler soldier boy’ who fought in the war and couldn’t cope so committed suicide expresses anti-war sentiment.

Thwarted by military censors from reporting the “what, where, and how” of World War I, journalists engaged the “who” – the human interest stories that were already a staple of early 20th century media.The split in U.S. society over the war in Vietnam and the controversy about it worldwide were reflected in media coverage, which in turn helped sharpen opposition to the war from around 1968.The issues were too complex for neat photographic embodiments, and the war itself had few triumphs.There are some who would even say that the mounting weight of photographic evidence was the primary cause for public opinion to shift against the war in Vietnam, and hence effected an end to the war itself.War photography, slum photography, “subculture” or...
