Last week was not as busy as two weeks ago but I was still able to make some progress on the video. At first I thought the video was going to be more of demo video to attract more people to the solution e.g a marketing video. Turns out the video I will be making is to show people what Plugandwork is about. I made a story board for the marketing video but I had to scratch that. Instead I made a script and my plan is to record the audio of the script and then get shots related to the script which I figure will be easier and more straightforward. For my final week I will put a video together and then add more information as I go. The reason they want me to create this video is so they can show people who aren't as tech savvy so they can understand what the company does. With my different point of view I can really simplify the overview of the company for everyone to understand.

Last week has been quite productive and fun. I was given a 13 page functionality file which contained all the functionalities that the solution has and it was all in french. My task was to translate everything to english but first I had to understand what the functionalities even were, which was no easy task. It did take a lot of time but I learned so much more about the solution and that can help my with creating a demonstration video this week. Instead of going on google translator and directly translating it from there I would write the translations in a way that flows better and appears more attractive to the consumer. I was able to apply my marketing skills as well and learn more french and understand the company better all in one big task.
All in all last week was pretty productive and hopefully I move ahead with the demo video this week. My second week of endersession has been quite interesting. I did not anticipate the level of French to be so high so it has been challenging. I am located in Alès, France at a company called plugandwork. Plugandwork is an online solution for companies to use to share documents, give access to files and live editing, online signatures, and and a very simple way to keep all your documents organized and easily accessible.
My first couple of days working there they made me work on a clients website and there I learned how to better use wordpress. I have also been working on a potential promotional video for the company in both english and in french. So far it has been pretty hard because of the high level of french being used but for every word or I don't understand I look up the definition and then the english translated version. I can already tell my french is improving The second week on endersession I was in Salt Lake City, Utah for the High School Club Rugby National Championships. This experience was totally new for me and it was awesome. We were treated like professional athletes which made the whole trip super cool. We stayed there for four days and had three games (one game a day). It was an amazing experience that I won’t forget. When we arrived we were ranked 8th nationally and we were matched up against the top ranked team, Granite Bay. We won by one point with a 48-meter penalty kick with no time remaining on the clock. Unbelievable!! We were so happy and so excited. Although confident, we were defeated by the Royal Irish from Indianapolis on day two. With that loss, we were now playing for 3rd/4th place on day three and were matched against the Charlotte Tigers. No Mustang team has every ranked higher than 4th place nationally so the pressure was on. Unfortunately a lot of our key players were injured and we didn’t win.
The wonderful news is at the end of the tournament because we won against one of the best team we ended being ranked 4th in the country and I will never forget this trip and my brothers. I have a lot lined up for this endersession and I will have you know that I will be all over the place, literally.
I leave for Utah tomorrow to compete in the national tournament with my rugby club the San Diego Mustangs. Then I come back on the 18th of May at 9pm and the next day I leave for France. I have a really cool internship with my cousin waiting for me there so I am very excited to see what the work environment is like in France. Who knows I might want to live there in the future. What I have done so far is work with a production company "Petrie Digital Media LLC" for the first two days of endersession. The lady I worked with is an old client of the gym I work at and she had me help with making a slideshow. I also have been working on a project at my gym that I probably will have to work on in France as well. So far endersession has been pretty productive and I am enjoying it. |
