Jing Chen (Kyoshin) Yu
For my Personal Project I chose “Endangered sharks in the world” I have
two reason that why I chose this topic: Firstly, I initially has interest with

which has approximately 4 minutes length. I am targeting to give a audience awareness about recent situation of endangered sharks through the
video in Personal Project.

Taipei and Ankara. Currently, I am living in Guangzhou, China.
