Has this double-slit experiment been performed?

A weak, single photon, source is controlled by a fast shutter and directs photons toward a double-slit. Quite far beyond the slits, compared to shutter speed, is the photon detector (perhaps a film). Timed to the shutter action one of the slits is closed after the photon is calculated to be between the slits and detectors.

Does the double-slit or single-slit pattern accumulate?
