video editing post

I watched ABC's Nightline. http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/ It was a story on protests in Iran and it is on the front page. All of their shots were edited so that extra footage like the camera moving was cut out. They used a variety of camera angles to show how large the crowds were. They used closeups on specific people that they interviewed as well as signs of protest. The editing was pretty fast paced which created a heightened sense of urgency.
