It is very useful to download the videoclips to play them several times over. You may also want to cut off the sound to better focus on the facial expressions.

Always follow the steps of the analysis method to be able to get good results:

2. Gather the facts (make a tallying list);
3. Determine the PNR;
4. Determine the type and the emphasis.
