Scripting/shooting for the web
Great post by Andy Dickinson on writing scripts for web video versus writing articles.
Worth noting that his points about “being concise/eliminating redundancy” apply to shooting as well as scripting. TV news features often contain 50% cutaways which add nothing to the story - that does not work on the net.
Lose the redundant shots along with the redundant language - on the web your viewers are tigers not donkeys. They will savage you if you waste their time.
