Writing for visual medium

For people who have got used to writing for print medium, it is hard to switch their styles to visual writing. Writing for visuals requires these people to create shorter, more oralized, and more naturalized sentences. People who write for print medium need to think about how they can make the writing better in telling stories. However, the visual writers have to think how their writings will work well with the videos.
Having been practicing writing for print medium for a whole semester, I met all the difficulties above when I started to be a visual writer. I had to remind myself to avoid any long sentences or dependent clauses in my writing all the time. I also tried to switch to less “formal” writing style. Although these problems take me some time to write for visuals, I believe I can quickly adapted to this new writing style.
