Client Correspondence

As stated previously, having received the email interview completed from the client, I replied regarding content re-purposing and content inpu. The following is the email I sent, and the reply I received from the client:-


My Original Email

Steve,

Thank you for sending me the email interview. Hopefully we will get some good input from other students regarding the rest of the content.

In the meantime, I have integrated and re-purposed your email interview. I have also taken a look at the FUCCA site and re-purposed some of their information regarding the course (overview) and its units. At present, I have done relatively little editing to them (referring more to the units than the overview (which I edited a lot)). I have re-structured them, and re-distributed/re-displayed them. I have additionally changed some of the tenses and tones, as well as the addressing statements. E.g. It no longer says, 'the student will', but 'you will', etc.

I am assuming that these unit descriptors closely match those in my unit handbook, and the writing style seems similar to yours, so I assume it is yourself that has written them? As you are the client, and the site is an extension of your 'product display', is this re-purposing a problem?

Please let me know ASAP so I can redraft if necessary (this will be very time-consuming as I am including a seperate description of each unit, so I would like to begin as soon as possible if this is the case)

Thank you in advance,

D



The Client Reply

I'm glad you got my email, I was concerned perhaps you had not received it.

I'll get back to you tomorrow about the questions in your email below. Apart from these, are there any other questions still outstanding?

I attach some MPEG4 video that might be suitable content. This is footage of the recent voice coaching session. The voiceover is self-explanatory and you can use that as a basis for some contextualising text introducing the footage and the idea that the course includes input from specialists.

Pay particular attention to your contextualising text throughout the website. With so much repurposed and edited text, your contextual copy will be one of the main written elements of which you can claim sole or principal authorship.

Sean Walsh completed an edit today of a vox pop video featuring student views on the course. We left it rendering tonight; all being well it can be converted to MPEG tomorrow and emailed to you.

Second year web projects are proceeding well and most are online so it will be possible to link to these. I will check the URLs and the live status and then forward the links.
