Multimedia Stories

From among the multimedia stories, my attention was most arrested by Pictures of my Neighborhood. The stark honesty of the photos coupled with the voiceovers during the slideshows created a deeper effect than would have been achieved had each element been presented separately. It was seeing the woman holding her baby while smoking crack and hearing her talk about how she lost her kid because of her addiction that made it so powerful. When media attacks my senses in more than one way, it has a more profound effect and is able to carry a deeper, more versatile message.
