For todays workshop, we had a seminar on editing with a picture editor from the BBC called John, whom shared with us his workflow of editing up footage for factual programs, sports programs and so forth, letting us know quick workaround work flows to speed up post-production, and also showing us editing techniques that he used on some of the programs that he worked on, namely Inside out London edition. Here is one of them below:

Rest of the clips are on this website
The software that he uses most of the time is Final cut pro 7, but he also emphasised that the software is only a platform for you to work on, and that you mainly need to concentrate on the skill of editing itself and not necessarily the software, that the skill should come first then the software after.
We were also set a sync assembly exercise, we were given footage of an interview, the transcript of that interview, with segments of the text highlighted out for us to cut those specific words/sentences together, and also cut away clips to edit together with the interview.
Here is my end result:
