Well done Isaac, your case study reflects growing confidence with identifying and explaining aspects of the thriller genre.
Next Steps:
1) Endeavour to answer the question which is "How Tarantino uses and develops generic conventions in the opening to Kill Bill 1".
2) Bill: The personalised handerkerchief, the bling jewellery, the cow boy boots indicate arrogance, conceit and narcissism (the personalised handkerchief is the give away here). The cow boy boots link Bill to his red neck brother Bud who buries The Bride alive near the beginning of Kill Bill 11. Thus the cow boy boots are a reference to misogyny and red neck mid west America of the Donald Trump type!!!
2) The chiaroscuro lighting, black and white colouration, chiaroscuro lighting, close ups and violence strongly establish the way Tarantino uses and DEVELOPS thriller conventions in the opening to this extraordinary film. You could develop these points.
3) To raise your grade and to perhaps think about over the next 2-3 weeks or so you could develop the extended task (inter textual references) , particularly with the focus on what is fake and what is authentic. For example the use of high colouration in the representation of Vernita's house indicates she was a fake friend; the same colouration is used in the Wizard of Oz who is fake and in "The Truman Show" which is all fake unbeknown to Truman! You could also reference LA Noir with the highly saturated colour.
I like what you've said about the use of the sound bridge and also your research into Nancy Sinatra. Using her track Bang Bang is not only apt in that the lyrics synchronise with the action WHEN Bill shoots the bride, but also the connotations of Nancy Sinatra's name and her father's link with the Mafia.
Ambitious but could be further improved. Endeavour to develop your ideas and..
Another step: CONSTRUCT ANALYSIS IN 3rd PERSON. lEAVE "I AND "WE" OUT IN ORDER TO ADOPT A MORE SOPHISTICATED STYLE.
If you want to write your opinion of the opening then of course you can use "I".
Proficient, Level 3: B grade; with added slide/s then grade can be strengthened.
