Visual writing

Writing for a visual medium is much different than writing for print. With print, the reader can always go back and reread a selection if they didn't catch what it was saying the first time. In contrast, someone watching a visual story will probably only get to see it once. Therefore, you can't overload the audience with too much audio information because it would be too difficult to digest.

While you can't give too much information with audio, you can however give a lot of information visually that you wouldn't be able to give with a print story. For example, a lot more emotion can be expressed visually because it has much more impact to watch a person crying because of something that happened than to read something like "so-and-so cries because of blah blah".

Overall, I'd say that both mediums have definite strengths and weaknesses, and writing for either one is way different than writing for the other one.
