If your spelling isn't as bad as your post. You should be fine

It is good to do a film* (don't call it a movie). However you probably lost marks for using the same technique over and over again, 'dialogue'.
You should look up film techniques and apply them to your essay (dialogue is just one out of the many film techniques, just like assonance is one out of the many language techniques).

Do different text types, as it shows a wider range of knowledge/understanding/etc about a variety of text types and techniques (LITERARY techniques in particular). It's not so much that marks are being taken off, it's more like they don't give you as many marks.
