You need to expand on each point by using examples. So, for example, you talk about Propp's 8 character functions, yet don't link any of them to the characters in your chosen films. Discuss each character you pick and say how they fulfil that role in the film (i.e. what makes them the hero/villain, etc).
Other areas are decent but still lack thorough discussion and examples. Why are guys in army gear seen as good? Where can I see examples of a 'good' guy and 'bad' guy? Do colours play a part in costume?
Same with lighting, show me a film where low key lighting is used for effect - show off what you know. What are the connotations of everything you mention?
For actors you've partly repeated the characters bit, so think more about how actors look, dress and behave. What sort of people are cast in these films? Soft, skinny men? Old people? Handsome? Again, examples needed throughout rather than just at the start.
Everything else needs more discussion and examples/clips. Especially themes (what sort of events occur?), sounds (diegetic and non-diegetic) and narrative (linear/non-linear; open or closed? fast moving or slow?).
