I was just doing some revision for Eng. Lang and was wondering as to what exactly is the distinct difference between pitch and intonation.
I am aware that pitch is a reflection of how high or low the voice is during speech and that intonation is the pattern of pitch used, but in an analytical commentary, how would you know how to distinguish the two? :/

I think intonation is the variation in pitch. You could comment on a person's high-pitched voice used for comic effect, whereas intonation would be stuff like falling and rising tones. which have different effects as I'm sure you know. Think about someone speaking in a really high voice (for instance when shouting) and someone whose voice changes from high to low.
