What is photo journalism?
What makes a photojournalist different from a photographer?
Photographers take pictures of nouns (people, places and things). Photojournalists shoot action verbs (”kicks,” “explodes,” “cries,” etc.). Photojournalists do shoot some nouns. These nouns can be standard photos of people (portraits), places (proposed zoning areas or construction sites) and things (name it). However, the nouns we seek still must tell a story.
Script:
Scene 5- Jiecheng: Good afternoon, this is Jie Cheng reporting the Singapore fortress. As you can see, many people are at the coast.
Scene 6- Jiecheng: Are you worried about the attacked? Huiyu: Of course not, we are well-protected. Don’t forget, we also have the naval base and protection from the prince of whales.
Scene 7- Eric: Yah, we have cannon all over the coast.
Scene 8- Minwen: We have good facilities like military airfeild & underground dunkers.
Scene 9- Thanks for your reply.
Scene 10- [Black Out.]
Lt Gen Yamashita (seated, centre) thumps the table with his fist to emphasize his terms – unconditional surrender. Lt. Gen Percival. sits between his officers, his clenched hand to his mouth.
Japanese occupation of Singapore happened between 1942 and 1945.It was when Japanese forces occupied Singapore during World War II,after having deafeated the combined Australian,British,Indian andMalayan garrison.It is a major turning point in the history of several nations, including that of Japan, the United Kingdom, and the colony of Singapore itself. Singapore was renamed ‘Syonan-to’ by the Japanese.
Banana money was issued during the war, and would become worthless after the war was over.
During the Occupation,resources were scarce.The Japanese issued ration cards to control the amount of resources the population received.Adults could purchase 4.8 kg of rice per month, and children 2.4 kg. While the war progressed the amount allowed for adults was reduced by 25%.They took control over the economy as Straits currency by issuing banana money as their main currency which became rare.
I felt so confused that I heard I need to write a reflection.I felt so sorry that I did not do much work for my group.I still can not understand the meaning of propaganda,but I had to try my best to understand ,however,I knew a little.
I think indiviually,our group do this propaganda a little quickly,and made out project a little unclearly.I think we need to improve many things.We need to practise more and work hard.We should pay more attention on this.
Though i do not know clearly,I still learnt something from this.The British was very overconfident, so they are careless,this make the Japanese could win.They did the propaganda to make the Singaporean to trust them that they can do everything better than the British. During this period of time,I also learnt many skills.
I hope we can do well next time!
Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that creates images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, and in some cases to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography (such as documentary photography, street photography or celebrity photography) by the qualities of:
An example of photo journal is your asian geography.

I have some problems downloading the propaganda film “Bugs bunny Nips the Nips”. I had now planned to use the video called “The Blitz Wolf”.I would like to describe more about it here.
The Blitz Wolf
The Blitz wolf is released on 22 August 1942. It is also one of the first direct anti-Nazi propaganda caqrtoons made in Hollywood.It is a directed by Tex Avery.This holds a debut at the MGM studiio.
The film is using the story of the 3 little pigs.The wolf is
“Blitz Wolf” was a great success. It had received a nomination for Academy Award (one of Avery’s six nominations). It lost to another excellent WWII propaganda cartoon, Walt Disney’s “Der Fuehrer’s Face”. In the recent 20 years, “Blitz Wolf” was rarely shown on TV and has the status of semi-banned cartoon. On rare occasions, it has been seen on Cartoon Network, but only in censored version, with one scene altered and another totally removed. We’re presenting the screenshots from completely uncut print that includes these two incriminating moments (one of them is an ugly and unfortunate anti-Japanese slogan written on the entrance of the Smartest Pig’s house).
The folowing is a storyboard of the whole event:
One of the little pigs building his straw house.
One of the pigs building his wooden house.
The only wise pig building his brick house with cannons facing all the direction from his house.
The two other pigs asking why did he do this.
The showed them about the wolf that is planning to kill them.
The wolf had been pretending to be kind to them.
The wolf is preparing to fight aginst them.
The wolf not appears in his first scene.

The transport hulf and puffed and blowed down the whole place…
He destroyed the wooden house next.
The two pigs went to the wise pig place to seek for protection.
