Writing for Visual Medium

Other than the technical difficulties, writing for a visual medium has been an enjoyable experience for me. I think you can leave yourself out of the story easily and focus on showing people what a person is saying. Writing for print makes it diffuclt to capture people's tones and what expression they made when they said particular things. With a visual medium, you can show people, rather than try to write a description. Though working witih a visual medium presents the challenge of using the right video footage to help people understand what is going on. I've read that using stimulating visuals can also be distracting when you are trying to get a complex message across. Trying to balance out what a person is saying with something interesting to look at can be hard when you're not sure if perhaps the audience is going to pay more attention to the visuals rather than the audio of the person being interviewed.
