Holly, you have focused on the technical terms for cinematography well and - even more importantly - described the impact on the audience. I like the fact that you have alsoused words such as "suggests", "implies" and "emphasises" which are words that lend themselves to critical writing.
ReplyDeleteTo improve, you need to focus on some of the basic errors in your writing: there are a number of spelling errors/basic typos. Obviously the next step is to apply this to a longer media text.
Overall, well done.
