TUESDAY MORNING

On Tuesday morning I began my work experience at Canopi for the first time. I met with Greg, the founder and owner of the buisness, who asked about my interests and things I had knowledge of prior to my arrival. I was briefly introduced to the Canopi team over a Microsoft Teams meeting where I learnt a bit about how the buisness functions in terms of the responsibilities each person takes up.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON

Prior that day, Greg assigned me with a task. I was given a few videos from the RLSSA (Royal Life Saving Society Australia) that were previously filmed for a course revolving around DRSABCD and how to perform it on someone who has become unconcious. My task was to not only shorten these different parts (DRS, AB, CD) into videos under 30 seconds, but to funk them up as though they would be posted on TikTok with the aim of appealing to and educating an audience of 17 year olds. I worked on this for the rest of Tuesday.

WEDNESDAY MORNING

Wednesday morning I let myself into the office with a key that Greg gave me the day before (he wouldn't be arriving on time due to his car being serviced). When he arrived, I also met Josh, who dabbles in design, mainly graphic design, and coding (he's really good at both) and Ash (he's from Europe and his childhood home is near alot of historical sites). I continued on with my RLSSA videos.

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON

For lunch, I went to Coramba Pub with Greg, Josh and Ash where I got a chorizo and mushroom Penne (it was really good). When we arrived back at the office, I once again continued on with my RLSSA videos, putting on any final touches and having a look for music that would suit it. I was then told that the next day I would be trying out some web design and coding to get a feel for it.

THURSDAY MORNING

I arrived at the office where I met Joshs' wife (she was very nice) and I went upstairs afterwards with Greg and Josh for the second Teams meeting of the week. I had to tell everyone what I had been up to aswell the last couple of days. I was then given a very informational brief by Josh on web design and how the software I would be using (DotNetNuke) to make my website the next two days worked.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON

For lunch, Greg drove Josh and I to the Coramba store where I got hot chips (I got way too many on accident) and a pineapple cake. When we got back to the office, I watched some Youtube for about 10 minutes before getting back to my website, which I worked on for the rest of the day. I briefly went back to my RLSSA videos and added music so that they were ready to be presented.

FRIDAY MORNING

Due to a car crash on the road to Coramba, mum and I had to drive along Eastbank Road instead where Gerg called and said he would arrive at the office around 45 minutees late as he had a meeting. When I arrived I dropped off my things and the case with the camera equipment I borrowed for a few days. I then walked down to the store, got a mocha and came back to the office where I finally finished up my RLSSA videos and began working on my website again.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON

For lunch, I had some slices of apple and a brownie which I had made the night before. I gave Greg a few for him and his wife. I then finished up my RLSSA videos and attempted to finish up my website but accidentally broke the timeline I had made the day before.
