The final scene was meant to take place in the tunnel due to the chronology of the story. Due to the fact that the tunnel was too light, we decided to use the "dark room" a room designed to develop photography in order for there to be no light. The scene involved the private detective going into the room due to hearing a noise.
He then lights his lighter in order to see where he's going. Suddenly, an unknown figure blows out the light, proceeding to reveal the title of the movie.
The scene was incredibly hard to do at first because of the overall lack of light that was present in the dark room. At first, we decided to use the red light that is used in the dark room but we decided to turn off that light as well. As a result, the lighter is the only source of light in this scene. As a result, it was very hard to get the camera to focus on my face due to the lack of light. Another negative of filming this scene was using a zippo lighter. Due to the lighter being "wind proof", it made it extra hard to blow it out. Some takes worked and it did blow out whilst others didn't. We did many takes of this scene including one where the unknown figure comes out from the side and another where he comes from behind my character. We decided on many different takes but decided on the one where he come from my side instead feeling that looked better as well as the fact that the lighter didn't blow out when the character came from behind.
