Film Language Test Feedback

I was one mark away from the next highest grade. I tried my best to include the suggested context that I needed to insert into my answers.

My feedback given :

WWW: some attempt to use media terminology.
EBI: far too short for each answer - needs extended analysis.

My weakest part was answering the editing section.

In the opening scene, shots of different areas of the dock allowed the audience to understand what the setting is. The cut after which focused on Keaton lying on the ground smoking defeat and to the fire surrounding him causes tension because no one knows whats going on. The characters are speaking in a low whispered tone making it sound like everything is about to end, because Keaton is exhausted with fighting for himself. There's an example of parallel sound, because the non diegetic sound is orchestral and slow. The music rises in volume as the fire flames up the ship, this suggests the ending of the scene alerting the audience. The ending then dissolves into another scene suggesting either a move into time and back into time. There is also loud and dramatic sound SFX which increases emotional impact within the film, such as; gun, lighter, urine and gunshot.
