You satisfactorily describe elements of mise-en-scene but do explain clearly how these elements establish how and why Tarantino uses thriller film conventions to establish the noir aspects of this film.
I suggest you add another slide in order to reflect you understand the conventions of thriller films.
Next Steps to raise grade:
For example 1) The use of black and white colouration suggests the classic 1940's noir thrillers such as "The Third Man" (you could download the trailer to this film as an example of film noir). You could also explain that black and white colouration adds to the suspense.
2) Lighting: The lighting is chiaroscuro lighting, another feature of noir thrillers. This lighting is also used in The Third Man (upload a screen shot from the trailer or a clip from The Third Man) Chiaroscuro lighting also adds to a sense of nightmare and menace whilst also adding to visual appeal....
3) A crime has been committed: This is another feature of thriller films, an example in Kill Bill 1 is the blood all over the face of the bride (upload a screen shot).
4) Location: You mention a cramped location. If you look up the definitions of thriller films in your yellow coursework booklet this will help you identify and explain how Tarantino uses thriller conventions in the opening to Kill Bill 1.
At present Level 2 : Dish grade. You could easily raise the grade if you add to the case study.
