You are tending to describe and analyse aspects of the action and mise-en-scene but you are not answering the question which is "How Terry Windsor establishes thriller conventions in Essex Boys (2000)"
1) Slide 1: note error, it is Jason who is in control not Billy who is just Jason/s driver.
2) When you identify locations, costume, behaviour of characters etc you must link this to the question.
For example of analysis and ensuring a question is being answered.
... The establishing shot in Essex Boys is lit with chiaroscuro lighting, the location is a deserted garage covered in cobwebs thus Terry Windsor immediately establishes the conventions of a thriller film by creating a deserted and enclosed space full of shadows and menace. For example in the opening to "Casino Royale" the action is shot in chiaroscuro lighting as is the opening to "Once Upon a time in America.
2) The costume of Jason is loud and brash, his yellow shirt and bling indicate vanity whilst his foul mouth suggests he is a character with thuggish tendencies. Arrogance and thuggish behaviour is a convention used in the Opening to Kill Bill 1 with the introduction of Bill. Bill wears rings, bracelets and cow boy boots indicating vanity whilst he has clearly beaten up The Bride. Billy's modest costume indicates his desire to remain in the shadows as he narrates his story and dumbly witnesses Jason's violence in the fish factory.
3) When a character narrates a story this is in film language a "voice over".
This is how it is done Louis. Note how the focus in my examples is on the title of the case study.
I like the way you indicate that Jason is in control and identify Jason's aggression but you must endeavour to answer the question.
Level 2/3 D/C
You can add another slide to strengthen. For example explain how the Essex Marshes where Jason dumps his victim reflects Jason has no boundaries, he is as dangerous as the tides which will drown his victim. .. Thus the convention of an isolated and dangerous landscape is another convention of the thriller genre, for example watch the trailer to the Danish version of "The Killing" on You Tube as a comparison.
