Step Week 3 Day 4

Today is a Catch Up day and I don’t have much to catch up on so I mostly edit my work and reviewed informations.
Here are some Storybirds I worked on this week.

This is to show media awareness
And this one is to show marijuana prevention.
 

Week 3 Day 3

Today I learned about the types of part time job and the language of persuasion. I was surprised that there are so many ways to get a part time job. For example, you could work study on campus through FAFSA and there are websites showing job opportunities. The language of persuasion made me realize all the time I’ve be persuade and without even knowing sometimes.

 

Step Up Week 3 Day 1

Today I am almost finished with my Animaker videos about vaping and marijuana prevention. I also discovered some new music from Bensound that I incorporated with my videos.

 

Step Up Week 2 Day 5

Today we learned about how marijuana is bad. Did you know marijuana contains more than 400 chemicals? Anyway, when we were done, I made an Animaker video with marijuana as the topic. During the process of making this video, I started using the characters provided. Which I haven’t been doing a lot. I did different poses and added some dialogue. I had used them before but I didn’t try transitions and all the cool poses that the character has.

 

Step Up Week 2 Day 3

Today I learned about vaping. It was mostly focused on vaping prevention for the youth. I’ve seen my fellow youth smoke and vape before yet it always surprises me when I hear someone talk about it. Some facts I already knew. For example, there is more nicotine in a vape than a pack of cigarettes and that vaping can lead to tobacco use. I just wish there was more ‘evidence’ to prove that vaping is bad. I already think vaping is bad but with so little facts about how its bad for you it makes others skeptical on quitting.

 

Step Up Week 2 Day 2

Today we learned about Bicultural Healthy Living. I am still unsure about how it works but one of the benefits from it is improvement in your emotional wellbeing. Which I find surprising and not surprising at the same time. From personal experiences, I’ve also experienced this. I didn’t know at that time that it was called Bicultural Healthy Living.

 

Step Up Week 2 Day 1

Today I made an Animaker video about my family, I hope it’s not to short. When making the video, I found some cool special effects to use on it. Like the film effect where it looks like your shooting an old movie. I also met some new students, during Zoom, who will also be working with us at Asian Media.

 

Step Up Week 1 Day 5

This is my second year with Step Up and my first year with Asian Media. I really like the work we are doing on Animaker and on StoryBird. I’ve learned how to add audio and music. I’ve found some great art on StoryBird to post with. It’s really fun. There have been some challenges. I am sure there more to come for a beginner like me and I am sure I will overcome them. I hope to learn more about creating media.
