Filming - Final Day

Lastly, we filmed the scene that took place in Dawson's office and the title sequence for the film opening. We used one of the staffs offices for this so that we could have the setting look as realistic as we could make it out to be, so that it would somewhat resemble a detectives office, We finally decided upon using Mrs. Curtis' office which led to Dawson sat at the round table in the center of the office.

 The final, finished suspect board that was used to film the title sequence for the film opening which included the actors that were played in the film, a few volunteer suspects from our class to pose as other possible murderers, and a list of the filming crew, and who did what role etc. The whole idea of the suspect board using the string to link up the pictures is to give the board the feeling that Dawson has been trying to link up all of the cases to try and figure out who out of the shown suspects could be the murderer.

We were also planning to film a scene with the murder weapon found next to Samantha's body at the crime scene. This would show the weapon (Planned to be Lead Piping) clearly to the audience and would lead to Dawson indefinitely finding the muderer. Due to restrictions of the full film opening time (2 Minutes) we had to cut the idea altogether so that we wouldn't run over our set time. Prop production was also a problem, as making the prop proved to be a more difficult task than imagined, and didn't get done in time for the filming.
