Writing for a Visual Medium

After reading the Poynter article, I saw some of the same issues that I have faced in doing my interviews thus far.  Instead of having a succinct focus in terms of my story ideas for each piece, I feel like I have struggled to find a focus.  I have suffered from being satisfied in simply getting an interview, instead of making sure the interview goes how I want.  This has hurt me when it comes to writing my story.  "Writing the package"  tells us to have a strong idea of how the story will go before you sit down to edit it.  Up to this point, that has not entirely been the case for me.  However, I hope to make a more complete layout of my ideas before the final video assignment.
