In the film Apollo 11 written by director Todd Millar he uses a variety of techniques to build tension and suspense in his film, these techniques are such as cinematography,  atmosphere, diegetic and non diegetic sound. 

Firstly I will be talking about how director Todd Millar uses sound techniques in his film. In the scene where the rocket countdown is happening and the rocket taking off, he used very suspenseful music to start the scene off. Such as loud thundery type music this gave the audience a good understanding of how great this launch was. The music would stop and start again causing the audience to have a holding your breath type of feeling. In the background of the suspenseful music he used a heart beat noise to implement what the astronauts are feeling.

Hi Lewis
A good start.
A few things to consider as you continue:
-Try to make your introduction clear and make sure that it includes your opinion of how well (or not) Todd Millar has achieved his intentions.
-Each paragraph is an opportunity to use examples from the film that show his intentions and for you to then critique how well they were met.
Check as you go for spelling and grammar etc
Good Luck
Cheerio
