R + P Post 16: Casting, costumes, hair and make-up

As all of the characters in our opening sequence, except Detective Sean Mann and the officer, are teenagers still at college. We decided that it would be best to cast teenagers in these roles. We would need a total of 7 actors and to avoid issues that may arise from having 7 external cast members, we all took on a part in the sequence.

Here are the original cast:

'Raj Singh' - Shathushan Somasundaram
'DC Sean Mann' - Jack Edmondson
'Cherish Beauguarde' - Tiwa Antwi
'Lucy Patterson' - Mari Hamano
'Tyrone Beckham' - Sayo Ajoje
'Simon Smith' - Emilio Francischelli
'Officer' - Ekincan Kaya

Here is the casting, costume, and hair and makeup document we made in advance of the test shoot. We created this document so we could tell our actors what costume to bring and how we wanted their hair and makeup to look.
