When taking a photographs of the scene in logical sequence, “ this means that the crime scene should include the area in which the crime actually took place and all adjacent areas where important acts occurred...” ( Saferstein 59). For example, when you see a bullet shell on the kitchen floor and blood spatter near the refrigerator and you do not have a ruler you must take a picture of the bullet shell and the blood stain using a bigger ( larger) object that you know the size of it so that in the lab they can determine what kind of gun was used. The very first pictures the photographer will take is the overview which is the whole place and then from there they will take a medium-range, close-up photographs of evidence that is visible. All of this is an important step so that the investigator can reconstruct the crime scene with every small detained photo.

The investigator must also follow any leads gathered from victim and witness statements. While in CSI the investigator always catches the criminal within an hour, a criminal investigation may take days, weeks, months and even years before being solved.
