Writing for Visual Media looks at the fundamental problems a writer faces in learning to create content for media that is to be seen rather than read. It takes you from basic concepts to practice through a seven-step method that helps you identify a communications problem, think it through, and find a resolution before beginning to write. Through successive exercises, Writing for Visual Media helps you acquire the basic skills and confidence you need to write effective films, corporate and training videos, documentaries, web sites, PSAs, TV shows, nonlinear media, and other types of visual narratives. You'll explore your visual imagination and try out your powers of invention. The companion web site enriches the content of the printed book with video, audio, and sample scripts. It includes scripts and the video produced from them; visual demonstrations of concepts; and an interactive, illustrated glossary of terms and concepts.

Review:
"Writing for Visual Media is logically ordered, and clearly written with strong examples. Programmers and web designers would get the most from Friedmann's work." -Bruce McKenna, Canadian Screenwriter

"Friedmann's seven-step review for developing creative concepts is worthy of a read by professional and budding writers....Writing for the Visual Media is an important contribution to our understanding of the challenges and skills needed for survival as a visual writer." - Charles Feldman, Feedback, the BEA Journal
