Innovative Media By Lim Xin Ying (0324319)

"What doesn't kill us, make us strong."

I expected that I would learn more skills for different dimensions of digital media in this module. I hope I can see myself would not take down by all the challenges that I will be facing in the future.

Exercise 1: Stop Motion Animation

The Squirrel-body Bear

Once upon a time, a man named Mr. Stickman was taking a walk around Stick Town’s neighbourhood. Out of the blue, it started to rain like cats and dogs. While trying to seek shelter at the bus stop, Mr. Stickman met a very unexpected and playful magical creature, known as the Squirrel-body Bear. They fell in love instantly. Although some passerby managed to capture the moment but the footage was very soon taken down from social media by magic.

2 Types of Effects of Cocaine

“A” is for anti, also for addiction as well. D is for dangerous, as well as for drug. Maybe you’ve been persuaded that you can do drugs and still able to keep things together. Sometimes it can be done for a while, depending on the person. But by the time one’s drug use reaches the point of being an addiction, one’s life has already begun a downward slide. Drugs can, and most likely will, ruin the life of anyone who uses them for any extended period of time. There are so many types of drugs in this world such as heroin, marijuana, cocaine and so much more.

Cocaine, also known as coke. It is a powerfully addictive stimulant drug made from the leaves of coca plant native to South America (National Institute on Drug Abuse, 2016). It is a high-priced way on getting high. There are several ways on how people consume cocaine. Some people snort cocaine powder through the nose, or they rub it into their gums. Others dissolve the powder in water and inject it into the bloodstream. In small doses, the drug can make users feel energetic, excessively talkative, mentally alert, and euphoric (WebMD, 2017). Over time, users may even neglect their basic needs for food and water in their quest to get more cocaine. The reality of cocaine hits after the high. Cocaine has powerful negative effects on heart, brain and emotions. Many cocaine users fall prey into addiction, with long-term and life threatening consequences.

Short Term Effects:

Cocaine causes a short-lived, intense high that is immediately followed by the opposite which is intense depression, edginess and a craving for more of the drug. People who use it often do not eat or sleep properly. They can experience greatly increased heart rate, muscle spasms and convulsions (Drug Abuse.com, 2017). The drug can make people feel paranoid, angry, hostile and anxious even when they are not high.

Regardless of how much of the drug is used or how frequently, cocaine increases the risk that the user will experience a heart attack, stroke, seizure or breathing failure, any of which can result in sudden death (Foundation of A Drug-Free World, 2017).

Long Term Effects:

As tolerance to the drug increases, it becomes necessary to take greater and greater quantities to get the same high. Prolonged daily use causes sleep deprivation and loss of appetite. A person can become psychotic and begin to experience hallucinations (Drug Abuse.com, 2017). As cocaine interferes with the way the brain processes chemicals, one needs more and more of the drug just to feel “normal.” People who become addicted to cocaine lose interest in other areas of life.

There are many reasons on why cocaine are bad to you, but these are probably enough. So, be smart, don’t start.
