ABC News

On the ABC Nightly News at 11:00 p.m, the news began with a story about a murder suspect in Northeast Baltimore. The story uses shots that tell the story. For example, a photo of the street sign is shown when the location is said. A variety of medium wide and tight shots are also used.

The story about a coach being charged with child pornography, John Kovach uses tight shots to show the letter that was sent and other items involved in the story. This matched action helps tell the story in a more compelling way.

The story about keeping Preakness in Maryland contains natural sound of the horse show announcer in the background while the reporter is speaking.

The reporter introduces the story about the plane that was stolen in Canada and continues to a video of the plane and airport with a voice over. A split screen is shown with a map of the plane one one side and the actual footage on the right.

Natural sound is used again with the sound of a bell ringing as the Dow as the local stock market is being told as well.

Before learning about the different editing techniques, I never realized how much goes into editing the video before it airs on the news.
