6. DCI Walker- Antony Clark
DCI Walker was our main character in our 2
minute opening, alongside PC Hunt and PC Clark.

7. DCI Walker- Antony Clark
DCI Walker was our main character in our 2
minute opening, alongside PC Hunt and PC Clark.
DCI Walker was unable to work on the case involved with our storyline due to a personal
relationship with the victim so was mourning the death of young Daisy Walker and
awaiting for any news of the suspects through his colleagues.

We used Antony Clark – a drama teacher at
Salesian School - to play this character.
After doing research on
home-made thriller films, we
found the main problem was
not effectively replicating
adult detectives due to not
looking old enough

We had to find inspiration for
the personality and costume
The best way to do this was
watch other films that had
similar storylines and characters
to our film

10. We first looked at Agent Strahm’s scene in
Saw IV when he is looking through papers
involved with the “games”.

11. We first looked at Agent Strahm’s scene in
Saw IV when he is looking through papers

Despite this film being in a different genre, we looked at Special Agent Peter Strahm’s
character for inspiration due to their similarities with working with cases. Both
characters work alone to solve a problem – one way or another.

We tried to mimic the shots that are circled as we liked how Agent Strahm did this
before showing his anger at the case. In order for this to work we did the same
with our character right before he stored into the evidence room – fed up of
waiting for his colleagues.

Whereas in Saw IV, Agent Strahm proceeds to smash up his
desk in his scene, we showed DCI Walkers anger by him
slamming the door & going into the evidence room.

14. DCI Walker: Costume- Inspiration and Research
The inspiration for
DCI Walkers costume
was based around the
David Fincher film:
“Se7en” starring Brad
Pitt & Morgan
Freeman
We copied this look
with our character as
we think it looked
quite professional
and we wanted to
make the detective
look as effective as
possible

The age of the detectives was another
important aspect of the characters looks as in
all of the thriller films we researched the
detectives were adults – not teenagers
pretending to be an older age.

Typical iconography for detectives is coffee to
suggest they’ve been working hard & are tired. We
wanted to show this in our film as we wanted to
make it as similar to existing thriller films as possible

17. PC Hunt & PC Clark- Edgar Walker and Conor Sawenko
Our other two main characters were PC Clark and
PC Hunt – colleagues of DCI Walker

18. PC Hunt & PC Clark- Edgar Walker and Conor Sawenko
Our other two main characters were PC Clark and
PC Hunt – colleagues of DCI Walker
PC Hunt and PC Clark are shown closing down the case after the chief said they were
getting no where after months of searching. PC Hunt and PC Clark had no emotional
connection to Daisy Walker the victim and therefore could work on the case on DCI
Walker’s behalf.

19. PC Hunt & PC Clark- Edgar Walker and Conor Sawenko
Our other two main characters were PC Clark and
PC Hunt – colleagues of DCI Walker
PC Hunt and PC Clark are shown closing down the case after the chief said they were
getting no where after months of searching. PC Hunt and PC Clark had no emotional
connection to Daisy Walker the victim and therefore could work on the case on DCI

We used Edgar Walker and Conor Sawenko to
play the part of these two characters.

play the part of these two characters.
I don’t think this casting worked as well
as DCI Walker as the age of the actors
made it look unbelievable that they
were a similar age to Antony Clark

If we redid our filming we
would of chose two other
adults to play these
characters as well.

22. PC Hunt & PC Clark: Costumes- Inspiration and Research
As said before, we used
David Fincher’s film
“Se7en” as inspiration
for our two PC’s as we
wanted to portray a
similar work
relationship between
our characters

23. PC Hunt & PC Clark: Costumes- Inspiration and Research
As said before, we used
David Fincher’s film
“Se7en” as inspiration
for our two PC’s as we
wanted to portray a
similar work
relationship between
our characters
We wanted to mimic the costumes from
the “Se7en” characters for our own,
however there was costume problems
due to the age of our characters and
there lack of smart clothes (suits).

If we reshot, we would take this into
consideration and would have got
something sorted before our filming day.

After watching scenes from “Se7en” we
also discovered that documents/folders
were typical iconography for detectives.

26. Daisy Walker
Daisy Walker doesn’t actually physically feature in
our two minute film as the film is set a few
months after she was murdered.

27. Daisy Walker
Daisy Walker doesn’t actually physically feature in
our two minute film as the film is set a few

Instead we use images that DCI Walker are
looking through showing him & Daisy together
when they were kids.

Instead we use images that DCI Walker are

If we redid this film, or parts of
it, we would have had a more
up-to-date image of her both
on the evidence board and in
DCI Walkers pile of images.

Daisy Walker. In our two minute film he was briefly shown in

After filming all our clips, we realised as we
were taking down the evidence board that all of
our suspects were apparently 7 foot tall! This
was a mistake with Photoshop when we were
editing our own photos onto the traditional
mugshot backgrounds.

Despite this not effecting our film we would
redo this if we did it again due to it looking
unprofessional and not very believable.

37. - How the suspects are shown in the 2 minute clip
The evidence board
The evidence board is where our 3 suspects are shown in
the two minute film we created. If the film was to
progress into a full length production they would feature
more in person rather than just in the photos.

After me & Anna went to Woking police
station for location research, we decided to
create an evidence board as this was
traditional mise en scene for detective
offices.

After watching “The Silence of the
Lambs” – we decided to create an
evidence board & cut between the main
character & the evidence board to link
them together.
