The brief for this weeks workshop is:
Computer Mediated Communication
During this workshop session, we will be comparing the relative complexities of email and face-‐to-‐face communication.
You have a choice of subject,
either;
1. You’re fired.
or;
2. It’s over I’m leaving you.
Please write a script for an email and a video chat, on your chosen subject.
For the email:
Write a brief, basic message.
For the video chat:
Write a script of what you would say in order to lessen the blow as much as possible.
So here goes.
This is a basic brief Email.
