This is tricky, as it's a collection of scenes from many episodes of Nashville. (Usually, an extract is from just one episode.)


It's also tricky because the camerawork isn't very special. You really need to dig for mis-en-scene, sound, editing, camera.


Please remember to revise and tackle your targets from your last piece of work.


And please watch FOUR TIMES and make LOTS OF NOTES each time you watch.
