evidence around the crime scene. James White then walks over to another
police officer named Richard Pascal.

that this body has been the 4th one like this in a month but James then notices
a lighter among the sand/grass and after picking it up he then turns to Richard
and asks him if it is the fourth and then shows him the lighter which has 7
notches tallied onto the face.
10. COSTUMES
For costumes we are using smart shirts for our characters as it makes them
look professional when they are at work.

We are filming in a house for the scene that we need a bedroom for but the
rest of our film we are either going to use a beach or a field if the beach is too
windy and we are unable to get good sound quality.
