SCREENPLAY:

OPENING SCENE: FILM STARTS WITH A STING OF A CAR DOOR CLOSING QUICKLY. THE SOUND ACCOMPANIED BY WHICH IS IN LINE WITH THE FILM STARTING INSTANTLY.

Someone dressed in smart office wear is seen from ground level exiting a car (Ankle Level shot), He then is shot from a side angle closing the door and walking away, the camera follows him and pans up to reveal a crime scene complete with Police Line Tape. The camera then starts from a later point and starts to follow the detective into the building which is lined with Yellow Crime Scene tape; on occasion the CSI team can be seen walking around. We continue on with and over the shoulder shot where we can see another detective talking to someone, the first detective calls to him and he turns around revealing his face. The first detective is now seen in a series of shot reverse shot conversation which starts to have the two of them walking around the crime scene. During this they converse with each other about the case and how the first detective is a “Rookie” to the crime scene business. The scene continues on with a shot from the point of view of the dead body, the two detectives walk over him and crouch slightly, from here it turns back to shot reverse shot from side to side  where they look and notice a small piece of paper in his right hand.  Upon noticing it the camera is slightly higher over them as they pick it up. The camera changes to show them level height reading the note for a second before we change to a shot of the note in his hand. The first detective bags it and hands it to one of the CSI team for analysis. The camera changes to a long shot where a series of shots fade from one to another in a proposed time lapse, the narration from the first detective talks about how nothing in the scene seemed to make logical sense. The scene fades out, one last piece of narration gives a dramatic close to the scene and then the credits for the opening begin.

The credits are essentially crime scene evidence next to titles or police equipment or even newspaper articles.
