Editing Styles - NCIS

During this scene several different editing techniques are used. To start with (when the interrogation scene starts) we have a dissolve (possibly counted as a crossfade) transition, which shows us that a new scene has started. As the scene progresses there are quite a few Shot-Reverse Shot which keep the dialogue flowing and keeps it verisimilitude. Some long takes are used to show that the character is slow at answering the question and thus guilty. This is also mixed with short takes for the 2 investigators to show that they are quick to the mark and one step ahead of the suspect.  Action match is also used during the cookie eating phase to show continuity.
