Hey Chene, not a bad effort but we need to refine your essay-writing skills to really hit it in the exam! For the next one, I need you to practise getting every detail you wrote down in the notes, into a paragraph. You don't need to take up time explaining simple things like the fact that location is part of mise-en-scene and one of the 4 technical areas. That is a given. We assume you understand that.
You made some good observations but I just need to see you explaining them in terms of the argument you're making. You mention that you see males and one is superior or that there is ' 'supremacy' (I think you meant heirarchy) between them. You need to make more in-depth analysis of what is represented here.
