To me, I think that slideshows with audio can be an incredibly powerful way to tell a story. Just the impact a single voice can have on a group of photos adds emotion and relatability to the story. With audio attached to the photos, there's no need for captions, even if what someone is saying does not directly come from the photo. Earlier in the semester, I watched a slideshow about men wounded in Iraq. Just hearing their voices and then seeing that emotion radiate into their eyes in a photo is a powerful thing. Adding natural sound also contributes to the relatability of the story. For instance, in one of the soldier stories, there was nat sound from a doctors visit he was at with his wife. You could hear the concern for her husband in her questions, but the photos also illustrated that concern as well.
