Writing for a visual medium

I must admit that, after reading the articles on composing TV packages, I am a bit intimidated.
I'm confident that I can plan and execute the recommended steps, but it seems like it would take a great deal of time to even come close to doing them well.
I already was aware of the importance of having a focus statement as well as storyboarding from a high school broadcast class, but it was good to have the ideas reinforced. As a primarily print person though, the notion of incorporating a distinct beginning, middle, and end into a one-minute story sounds like a challenge, but it makes sense when I think about some of the TV packages I've seen.
