Luca this is very developed analysis but you need to complete the questions in the booklet, ie what did you learn from this exercise etc. your description of camera is limited to distance only - you should include movement and angle to improve on this. With reference to mise en scene, you could improve this by commenting more on positioning of key elements in the frame, ie light shining from the top left, subject centred, antagonist on vertical third...
