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.

Cover mis-en-scene, camera, editing and sound


Please remember to:


1) Use clear topic sentences. (Remember when you each wrote a separate paragraph? Divide your essay the same way, under clear, different points.)
2) Use at least three elements in each paragraph. Make sure you cover all four in detail by the end of the essay.
3) Revise and improve on your previous targets - eg improve your explanations
4) Once you have watched it four times and made notes, time yourself: 45 minutes to write!
5) This is due next Monday - submit to Ms Peters please.
