What I noticed overall:

In the video I watched, «Disappearing jobs: Video Shop Closes» I noticed that the person who edited the video tried not to show us one shot for very long, probably thinking that it's going to be a bit boring. Along with the main character, Marc Mohan, and story that he's telling, there're a lot of cutaways of random people, workers, close ups of different signs, boards, discs. There was a woman who showed us what the video shop meant for her, a view from the different perspective. The video was also filmed from different angles that made it more interesting to watch.
