Visual Medium

Writing for a visual medium is not so different than the other forms of writing I have dealt with. It resembles reports I have done. You have to make sure and stick to the facts. It also resembles storytelling because you want to use your video writing to tie the entire package together. It is a very important part of the equation to get right. It can sometimes be difficult because you have to work with the video you have. There is nothing you can do to change that because what you see is what you get. This is why I believe broadcast journalism is more credible at times because it would be more difficult to make-up or add something that isn't true. All and all writing for a visual medium just takes practice.
