Writing for a Visual Medium

It is much easier to write for a visual medium than a print story. When you are writing for a visual medium you don't have to use as many descriptive words because you can show them exactly what you are talking about. When writing for a print piece or writing for the ear, you have to use MANY descriptive words and make the reader feel that they are in the place or at the event you are covering. In class we have learned about jump cuts and leading the reader from one place to the next visually without directly saying "... an then x did this. Afterward X did this..." In print you would literally have to spell it out the exact order of the sequence of events.
