Visual Writing

By: Lauren Foreman
I found the two articles very helpful because with video it is very easy for me to get caught up in the visual: the images, clarity of sound, editting appropriately. I sometimes forget that essentially I am doing what I love to do and that is telling a story with words; only, it must correspond with video in such a way that I am truely showing my audience. I have to develop a focus, a lead, and a close just as I would do in print. These elements of story telling are echoed in the way that story is shown: in the variety of shots taken, the different perspectives shown, and the reaction shots of subjects. It all works together.
