Writing emails is so stressful for me but this video is great. Nothing is worse than getting an email and having no clue what somebody is trying to tell you.
Thanks, never really learned how to email because everyone just assumes that you know how to email. Keep up all the videos, love learning about all aspects of media production, big or small.
This was great RJFS! And yes although it focused on the film industry it applies to all businesses. I've always thought that I have been a fairly good writer but I tend to write novels when I send texts, emails, whatever. I will remember the 2 objectives! Thank you.
Sandy this is exactly where I fall flat, especially when emailing people I have never met. A contact says " Hey you should talk to this guy, he is looking for a project" and gives you his email address.
I think it's also worth mentioning that you should reply to acknowledge that you got the email, like when someone sends you an updated project file for example
this bestest word in an email you can type is NNTR; No Need To Reply , see emailcharter.org great for notifications and 1-way messages, or to have that last word. P.S. your overly long signature isn't cool it's spam that's multiplied by every response P.P.S n/t is the next best when you can cram the entire message into the subject line.
Summary: Think the goal of the email and it would be understandable. Keep in mind sending email officially and practically. Don't write friendly expression, like lol, emojis, slang. Modify your draft by checking spelling, content's length and so on. CC is Carbon Copy for who can reference an email. ex) I sent my professor an email. My team members can see it due to CC. BCC is 'Blind' Carbon Copy for who don't know each other or protecting privacy. Last but not least, you can have undo send time for preventing your mistake. How? See between 5:40 ~ 5:51 :p
To add to this, any email I receive that simply begins with my first name, followed by a colon, will get deleted immediately if I don't know the person. Learn to use a greeting in your email such as 'Hi xxx', or 'Hello xxx', or whatever. It takes an extra second and sends a different message. Using someone's first name only when you don't know them comes off as powertalking and, at least for me, gets your email deleted and never read.
Thanks for making this video cherish. Quick question, are there certain protocols when working with child actors? For example I heard you need to make sure they have work permits as well as hire a studio teacher for the shoot. Anything else I'm missing?
crappy form of communication? people who have the attention span of a goldfish are crap at communicating. If you're not able to communicate properly via email or letters, prepare to be judged. You deserve it.
well... then leanr how to egt your information in order, so everyone can look up things they need to know. how long does it take for you to scroll through endless chats to get what you need to know? that's useless overhead. Emails can be filtered by subject. everything you need to know in just one page. readable on all your devices. Or maybe you want to look at it from another perspective. It's how shit gets done. deal with it, learn how to do it, play with the big boys. If you don't, it's like you try get your point across by inventing new words no one understands. every single time someone has to ask you something is a failure of your communication skills.
I'll completely agree with this. When you want to communicate with someone effectively, you start a conversation. You don't want to spend your time on formalities every time you wish to respond.
02:27 = *BE CONCISE.* According to RocketJump, this involves mentioning your name at the beginning of an email and filler sentences wishing the audience well. Stating your name at the beginning is not necessary because of signatures. Gosh!
goodnightvenus And the issue that people have different ways of doing things. What works for one person may not for another due to personality differences and experience. Or just old advise that may not apply any more.

Great tips, but you forgot one. ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR ATTACHMENTS ARE ATTACHED TO THE EMAIL BEFORE YOU HIT SEND. Boom!

I was not expecting to have my mind blown on a video about emails. I had no idea about the difference between C.C. and B.C.C. I just used it.

I liked: "Yo! Jobs?" best.
Short and to the point. As our great German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said:
"What's scrubbed, can't fail."
Haha shit what a timely upload for me. Seriously, been doing this a lot lately and was thinking I might need pointers
She’s absolutely incredible! I really enjoyed this and learned a lot
Arrrgg! You cut off a chord at the end! I'm still waiting for the resolution
She is so adorable!

Not the kind of videos I subscribed to this channel, but I am happy you made it.
It was quite helpful.
Great video! Knowing how to write an email is an super important skill to have.
Loving the board game collection!
Ohhhh! The undo tip is seriously helpful. I wasn't aware of that. Thank u so much.
Love u guys. good day.
super helpful video, perfectly timed

Really entertaining way of teaching, two thumbs up!
Great job Cherish! Informative and entertaining. :)
Honestly.. I suck at email .. thanks for the tips..I still suck at email.. but I suck way less now.
holy shit please I fucking need this! No one ever fucking replied my business letter!!! NO ONE!!!
If you would be my teacher in high school i would enjoyed it so much!
OMG. They're called P A R A G R A P H S. Separate thoughts into paragraphs. It makes the email MUCH easier to read.
thanks for sharing

This helps soooo much! Thank you! I am an email newb.
surprisingly helpful.
Does anyone else think she sounds like Steve Brule when she speaks? I don't mean it as an insult. It's endearing.

awesome 😄
omg I never know what BCC is before
Cc and Bcc !!
I thought the exact same thing about La La Land when I saw it the first time.
Wa. I didn't know the undo button! Thx!
i hate people who play dumb when reading my messages, i write like i want lol

1st Heart breaking
2nd I love you
This video was kind of pointless to anyone who's fluent in writing/reading email etiquette, however I thoroughly enjoyed the sarcasm of the presenter.
Holy crap !!! Sooo you guys & Cherish didn't mention "THIS" to Chazelle so that Emma made a fool out of herself (笑´・艸・) HeHe !!! Hilarious !!!
I have a one subject per email rule. If you ask two questions, you won't get an answer to either of them. 🤷♂️
cherish seemed tired in this video. i hope she's okay.
This is why things like Slack got popular, Email becomes a pretty crappy form of communication when you have to worry about being judged in it

I want an answer, time is money, emails generate a huge amount of wasted time from this overhead.

I stopped reading this after the first line, please comment more, I won't read it neither

I'd Cherish Single?

How do you introduce yourself without mentioning your name at the start?
wow thanks for spoiling la la land for me could have added the spoiler warning but nooooo lets ruin the whole movie for everyone
Really E-Mails... well that's just anticlimactic.
You simply have to be on e-mail these days
was subbed in case of new cool stuff like VGHS but years later i think it is time to unsub.
email tutorial on a filmmaking youtube channel. you must be running out of ideas.
it has to do with collaborating with other film makers. so it is really helpful for youtubers who want to collab
This is just plain common sense, pretty pointless video to be honest.
You'd be surprised how uncommon common sense can be.
Not everyone is a know it all. It is a good video reminder!

I always email my artist what you have to do etc i write like professional
This video may save my "career". Thank you so much guys!
Very solid, and necessary advice.
