Docu Drama: Murder Scene

This was an assignment for my Editorial class. I worked with two classmates, Ed Ramos and Rodrigo Sanchezleon. The assignment was to recreate an event as if there was a photographer there to take a photograph as it happened. I had thoughts of 48 hours and other shows that chronicled crimes with recreations. The group bounced around ideas of a murder or suicide scene. As we planned the shoot we decided to have a witness being interviewed by an "officer" while the other "officer" examined the victim. To be honest, with scheduling conflicts,  we decided on a location last minute and kind of winged it.

Here is a portrait of Larry, who fits the officer character perfect, as we set up and tested the lighting.
