Initial thoughts on task

Personally I think thriller genre is a difficult task as they often have deep/adventurous plots which will be difficult to create. Fortunately, it is the opening scene of a thriller meaning a clear plot does not need to be produced, just clear conventions of meaning which fit together. Lots of short takes and transitions would make an effective opening as long as it is tastefully created with good use of effects and editing.

Research & planning

I have numbered Level 4 to show which techniques I find the most difficult [1] and which I find the least [6]. 

Personally, I find time management the most difficult as you have a lot of work to reach within a small period of time that must be complete for specific deadlines. The point I find easiest to fulfill is to have excellent presentation of the (research and planning) work, as I enjoy presenting my work well. However, this relates to time management which I struggle with, this is because to provide the high quality of presentation plenty of time is needed! 

Product

I have done the same for the Level 4 marking scheme on the product. Rating them from: 1 being most difficult-5 being least difficult.

I think that using sound appropriate for the task is the most difficult [I stated this in my evaluation of my preliminary task]. I find sound difficult as not only does it have to fit the extract, it has to be edited to fit in with the visual images, it has to create meaning and most of all must not be copyright protected. 

The point I find easiest is making the product fit the genre and task, unlike some people/groups (in my class) I don't get too focused on including action and weapons and can easily focus on fitting the material to my target audience. I find it quite simple to distinguish what is and is not appropriate for the task.
