The FLY
Soundtrack: Made up of diegetic sound (e.g. the sound of the car, the fly, the bank robbery). The bank robbery noises are muffled which shows great attention to detail as the people are speaking through masks, and this emphasises our distance from the action as it is further muffled by the fact they are in an enclosed building when we are outside. The noises made by the fly are high pitched and annoying, this is so the audience shares in the character's constant rage towards the fly, justifying the absurd narrative. All the other noises that disturb him (e.g. the car horn going off) are equally high pitched, recurring, and bothering in order for us to share in his anxiety and heightened sense of alert.
Acting: Acting is convincing as we can clearly see his building rage and intolerance - nervous tapping, the progressively angrier swatting, his micro-expressions change.
Cinematography and Editing: Impressive vfx used for the fly, CU of the fly to establish it as a focal point, regular cuts back to the door of the bank to remind of context and show absurdity of what's going on in the car - comedic yet tense as we are always expecting the crew to leave the bank expecting a getaway, fast pace of editing at very tense scenes (e.g. when the airbag explodes and needs to be cut).
