Professor Heller interview advice
Facts and advice from Professor Heller that can help me phrase the emails we need to be send, this will help currently as I'm struggling with what to reply to Lord Whitney as well as panicking about how to contact and phrase other emails to professionals. This whole part of the brief is very stressful for me so more research into how to create emails, how to word them and also feature people i want to ask might find annoying will make sure that the emails and questions i ask will allow for better response.

title - get an interesting title, not just question or simple, make it stand out against the rest of the other that will be emailing
content - there is usually a basic email that sent out mine will need to be more interetsing, have feature the others wont so it's less generic as this type of email being send is boring for them so will not get as positive response if any. Most will have no greeting, this feel very formal and puts of the artist as they aren't spoken to a person but as a resource. Don't say i have to do them, say i want to. Make the emails personals to my interest in their work whilst showing i wanted to do them, showing my interest in their work. Make them sound wanted, don't say need to say want to. Don't say asked anyone else act like they the first choice always even if they aren't. Background reading is good as it make informed questions show i have knowledge of them, not just a google search.
bad practice - make an interesting questions, with not a book length answer but also not just a yes no blank questions. Don't just fulfill the requirement, ask what actually interested in so the response can actually be used and relate to my work, gives actual advice.
email - nothing wrong but nothing great, email are seen as lazy, they don't give chance for more questions, go in person? should be personal to me
