The next step was to make a multimodal presentation of my argument. My video was something that I have wanted to do for a while. I love to motivate people to push them to believe in themselves and most of all overcome adversity. I made this a motivational video because when you look on YouTube most of the inspirational videos or motivational videos are made by men or are about male athletes. My point here is many female athletes do not get the recognition they deserve through media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-163\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/mmodesto\/files\/2016\/06\/AFPGetty-479601250A-300x208.jpg\" alt=\"The United States celebrates after winning the FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015 5-2 against Japan at BC Place Stadium on July 5, 2015 in Vancouver, Canada.

I captured many audiences by putting mostly Santa Clara University athletes and putting many different sports to peek many who have interest in that sport.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I designed the video to be upbeat and motivational with great clips to show how great these female athletes are inspiring but also make those aware that women are not in the media as often as men. I placed the quotes in the middle to keep many people locked into what the point of the video was and make my point clear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-164\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/mmodesto\/files\/2016\/06\/2463-300x190.jpg\" alt=\"Aug. 20, 2008; Beijing, CHINA; USA players surround homeplate as they wait to celebrate with Crystl Bustos (not pictured) after she hit a three run home run in extra innings against Japan during the softball semi finals at the Fengtai Softball Field during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

I couldn&#8217;t think of how to address it or make people aware of it so I just added quotes and points. This also made it a little realistic for others to really think about how much they really don\u2019t see female athletes on television. Another part that was difficult was finding a song that went with my video. I picked the song <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=J91ti_MpdHA\">\u201cGirl On fire\u201d by Alicia Keys<\/a> because the lyrics are so moving to me. As a girl and an athlete I know how the song makes me feel and figured that the song would motivate other women to keep playing sports. Adding the music was most difficult because I had to align a specific sound to the action and make it on beat. Once I made all these decisions it was exciting to make the video because I was able to find highlights and awesome plays to show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the end, I was happy it turned out to be easy, relaxed, and so much fun and I learned a lot about the power of media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-162\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/mmodesto\/files\/2016\/06\/MjAxMy0xNzg5MzJmOTgzNTk1Mzgz-300x210.png\" alt=\"MjAxMy0xNzg5MzJmOTgzNTk1Mzgz\" width=\"300\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/mmodesto\/files\/2016\/06\/MjAxMy0xNzg5MzJmOTgzNTk1Mzgz-300x210.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/mmodesto\/files\/2016\/06\/MjAxMy0xNzg5MzJmOTgzNTk1Mzgz.png 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/ayCaKl3gdmY After turing in my essay arguing that inequality in sports is because of the media.
