Writing for Visual Media

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Writing for Visual Media 5e by Mr. Anthony Friedmann is a well-written, comprehensive overview of writing for visual media that can complement any beginning course in screenwriting. I assigned it as weekly reading to my beginning students, and it greatly helped them understand the concept of writing for all types of media, and how to create story."

Praise for the Previous Edition

"Worth its weight in gold ....! It doesn't get any better than this: Here we have a master teacher- Anthony Friedman, bringing 21 years of writing, producing and directing experience to bear writing the third edition of this very impressive text... An impressive book that delivers what it promises... an essential purchase for anyone interested in writing for the visual media."
R. Neil Scott, Author, Former Professor & User Services, Librarian at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU)

"An engaging textbook that trains, entertains and concentrates on contemporary writing issues in an accessible way. This book delivers a treasure trove of valuable, well-written information aspiring writers can use to familiarize themselves with the challenges of visual media."

"A comprehensive, well-structured, and well-written introduction to writing for electronic and digital screens wherever they might be found."
Nathaniel Kohn, University of Georgia

"... a critical text that is accessible for students. This textbook provides comprehensive examples and exercises to push students to engage with real-world examples that will be needed once they become professionals. Broken down into five parts, this book allows lecturers to focus on critical concepts either in order, or in smaller chunks. The section on Interactive and Mobile Media is a welcome addition to a mediated world that is going global with the use of a Smartphone!"
Dr. Ann Luce, University of Portsmouth, UK

"Anthony Friedman is a master at his craft for writing for a variety of media. He is also a master when it comes to explaining his methods to the average lay man. I thought the book was brilliantly put together ... I feel this book is well worth the purchase price, and the time spent reading."

"If my journalism students could only have three textbooks during their journalism academic career, I'd be pleased to know that "Writing for Visual Media" was one of them. From producing PSAs to defining target audiences to writing for interactive and mobile media, and finally, marketing oneself in this ever-changing media landscape, this text has the tools that journalism and new media students need now and tomorrow."
