Hi Claudia,
Any videos that appear on the NCS exam will likely be pretty straightforward.

Torsion is circular/rotational movement. Video 1 shows upbeating nystagmus with a torsional component. The fast phase of the is counter-clockwise, or to the patient’s right. Picking one point on the eye helps with analyze nystagmus characteristics.
