We don't need a narrator!

I think that one of the really cool things about writing visually is that you don't necessarily need to have a script for the journalist. I've always been pretty impressed with journalists who could tell the story using the words of the sources, instead of having to add in their own dialogue. 

One example that I found of this was on the Missourian's website. They published a story about the piano recital that was held on campus last week. It started with some shots of the pianists, the crowd, etc. There were close up shots on the pianists' feet hitting the pedals, the crowd's feet tapping along to the music, etc. Then, the clip went to a shot of a director and various people talking about the camp and the recital. Overall, the piece was informative and visually appealing, but the journalist didn't say a word.
