TV editing techniques

In this VOSOT, the anchor is first shown with an OTS graphic about swine flu that matches the link on Fox's Web site.
The next shot is a wide shot of people waiting in lines outside of Enoch Pratt Library waiting to get flu shots, followed by a close up shot of the needles in the vaccines themselves.
The reporter writes to the corners of the story by saying how families are urged to get both seasonal and swine flu vaccines for their children as another wide shot of people coming into the Library and a close up of a man getting the shot follow.
A SOT of a woman working at the clinic shows her talking about the risks of not getting the flu shot, but the information is new and not recycled from the reporter's story. Her voice goes slightly into the next frame, which is a close-up shot of needles and a wide shot of another person getting a shot.
