Sabrina Doyle writes on the Canadian Science Writers Association site about the differences between reporting as a writer and reporting for video, such as sound: "When you’re working alone, it can be overwhelming the number of things you need to check — focus, lighting, composition, white balance, and let’s not forget what the person is actually saying — but adding audio to the list of priorities is crucial. If the sound’s bad, nobody’s going to listen."
