Cognitive Interview

Upon my review of both the article and the video clip, I feel that for the most part the clip was pretty even with the article, with the exception of the beginning where the interviewer was a bit harsh, but maybe the person being interviewed needed that little pep talk.  But the interviewer made sure the person being interviewed had their eyes closed, which was mentioned in the article.  The interviewer is letting the person explain sights, sounds and smells that he experienced and urging the person to dwell on those things, in an attempt to bring out more information.  However, it seems more of a hypnosis than an interview, in the manner that the interviewer is forcing the person to almost relive the experience.  I did not see any piece of "step 4" from the article, which would be to change perspectives or make the person feel like he's in another person's shoes.
