18. Crew
POST PRODUCTION NOTE: Due to the amount of footage required and the ratio of
actors to crew members, all of the actors had a turn recording sound or shooting a
scene at one point or another, so the crew listed below are only those who had
dedicated roles doing so.

19. Rhys Sadler Scott –
Director/Cameraman/Sound/Editor
As director, I arrange the actors for each scene and work based on their
availability. Planning out which actors to film with on which day accordingly. I
ensure that each take is done at least twice, to ensure proper polish, and
direct the actors on their line delivery and body language where appropriate. I
write the script for the whole series, as well as the costume design and set
locations. Throughout the production, I also filmed and recorded sound for as
many scenes as I could. In order to make certain each scene was directed as I
envisioned it. I’m also responsible for the editing of each episode, including
music, structure, colour correction, cutting for time etc.

20. Oliver Ramskill – Drone
operator/Cameraman/Sound
Oliver’s main role is to secure the drone shots for
episode two in which Skye and Jamie are seen
dancing. For this scene, I wanted several shots from
above and enlisted Oliver, whom I’ve worked with on
previous projects and know he has good experience
with drone shot composition. He provided and will
operate the drone for these scenes. He will also serve
as an extra crew member when needed to record
sound or shoot a scene.

21. Abbey Glancy –
SFX/Makeup/Choreographer/Sound
Abbey Glancy is in charge of practical special
effects. She will provide the scar/blood/injury
makeup needed in several scenes, having had
training in this area and practicing such an effect
on myself in pre-production, which was more than
sufficient enough for me to enlist her services as
the makeup artist for the series. She also served as
the choreography adviser to Olivia Maiden and
Cassie Fonth in preparation for their dance scene.
Though the two actually improvised most of their
movements for that scene in the end. Abbey will
also serve as a spare crew member for sound
recording if and when needed.
Shown above is an example of Abbey’s work
with injury makeup.

22. As India serves as the internal actor (not hired from outside York College) with
the least screen time. She’ll also serve as additional crew to operate the
camera and sound when required.
India-Rain Harrison –
Camerawoman/Sound
POST PRODUCTION NOTE:
India also serves as a body
double for Olivia Maiden in the
wake of her suddenly leaving the
production.
Olivia (Left) India’s doubling (Right)

23. Jamie Fox – Original Soundtrack
Jamie Fox has been enlisted as the composer for the original soundtrack to
the series. This includes creating the main theme for the opening titles and all
the ambient music for the scenes. He also composed an individual theme for
all seven characters. I worked closely with Jamie throughout pre production to
create drafts of the themes for each character that reflects their personality.
As well as discussing potential ideas for the musical tone of certain scenes,
the trailer, the opening credits and any other relevant parts of the production.
Jamie was enlisted very early on. So by the time all the actors had been cast,
we had a main theme for each character. Which was extremely helpful to the
actors for getting into their characters mindsets.

24. Dr. Emilia Frith – Psychological
Consultant
Dr. Emilia Frith has been enlisted as a consultant to help with the
characterization of the main leads and the specifics of their conditions. Emilia
has worked with or had experience with each condition and mental disorder
afflicting the leads and therefore is able to provide key traits and symptoms
of every one of them. This lead to some key aspects of the characters being
properly realised and ensuring realism and constant insurances that all the
conditions were being as closely represented as possible. Emilia has made
herself available all throughout the production, which means she can also
advise on early scenes and drafts of the episodes to help continued realism.

25. Actor/Crew time constraints and
availability
Each actor/crewmember has varying degrees of availability:
RHYS SADLER-SCOTT: Available throughout production.
CASSIE FONTH: Available throughout production on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

26. Costumes/Character Colour Schemes
Every actor worked closely with me to
carefully consider their costumes.
Based on what clothing the actor had
and what colour schemes would best
fit the characters. As well as hairstyles
and makeup. Jewellery and other
accessories were also considered.

27. Cassie Fonth as Jessica White/Jamie/
Dark Jessica
Cassie’s Jessica Persona is very plain and simplistic in her clothing and makeup choices. She favours earthy, dulled
colours. Like Dark green and brown. She often wears a dark green hoodie, always with the hood up, to show her
meek, shy and reserved attributes. Or a brown leather Jacket, in contrast to Joshua’s more synthetic black jacket, to
show her preference for natural fabrics, hence a more genuine, down to earth personality. She wears dull blue,
simplistic jeans and everyday converse shoes. Jessica does not wear makeup and always has her hair tied back,
further enforcing her natural, genuine persona and her need for control over her other alters. Jessica wears glasses,
which she only removes when in her Dark Jessica Persona.
The Jamie Persona favours bright synthetic colours, primarily yellow and red. To show her outgoing, upbeat,
energetic personality. She’s also decidedly more feminine. Always wearing her hair down, as well as wearing makeup
and always in high heels. She never wears jeans or trousers. Instead preferring long flowing skirts as well as a baggy
bright yellow jumper. She wears a lot of jewellery on her wrists, bright bracelets and bands etc. and a pair of black
tights. Enforcing her much more feminine and confident personality. Through the use of carefully timed dying,
Jamie’s hair is also a lighter shade of red than Jessica’s. which we accomplished by having the actress dye her hair a
lighter shade midway through filming.
Dark Jessica is a combination of the previous two personas. Her hair is loose and messy. She only wears dark black,
greys and blues. To show her sinister personality. Like Jamie, she wears heeled boots. But prefers light dull jeans and
a tight long sleeved black top for her costume. She occasionally removes her glasses, to show how she’s plotting
behind the other alters and how her secrets are coming to light.

28. Dark Jessica Jessica Jessica (Hoodie) Jamie

29. Olivia Maiden as Skye Matthews
Skye’s clothing remains fairly unchanged throughout the series (Due to the characters limited
wardrobe.) Her main colour scheme is Red and Black. To show both her passionate, chaotic
personality and her cynical nature. She wears a checked red and black hoodie for the majority of
the series, to emphasize her duality, caused by her bi-polar disorder. This colour scheme is also
heavily favoured by Riley, as both a symbol of the twins connection and a showing of Riley’s
reliance on her. Skye wears black, worn, ripped jeans. To show her rough lifestyle. And favours
either simple trainers for practicality and a life on the run, or black high heels for stature and
authority for footwear. (As an aside, another reason for her occasional wearing of high heels is
due to the large height difference between Skye and Riley; 5’3 and 6’3 respectively. Hence she
wears heels in some scenes to compensate for this difference.) It also enforces Skye's
domineering and standoffish personality. Her hair is most often worn loose and curled to
emphasise her lifestyle on the streets. However, towards the end of the series. Skye Braids her hair
loosely over one shoulder, to show her steady shift in personality from wild and untamed to
controlled and considerate. As she is homeless, Skye never wears makeup. During her scenes of
bonding with Jamie, who helps Skye begin to loosen up. She briefly switches to a bright white
hoodie and straightens her hair. To show she is beginning to open up and emphasise her
underlying vulnerability. As well as her relative innocence, since despite a rough life on the streets,
she is still a young, somewhat naïve girl. Her drastic and inconsistent changes in colour scheme
and hairstyles help to show Skye’s changeable personality. And help to visually display her
condition.

31. Fraser Hardwick as Riley Matthews
Riley copies his sister’s colour scheme of red and black. To show his dependence
on her for support and his inability to determine his own style. However, while
Skye favours red heavily in her scheme. Riley wears more black. He favours a thin
red and black checked shirt. Often worn under a jet black coat. This is to show his
underlying tension and constant edge due to his unstable condition. While earlier
on in the series Riley wears his shirt without the coat often, towards the latter half
he favours the coat much more heavily, to show his growing control over his
condition and his steadily growing confidence. Shown in how he begins to differ
stylistically from his sister. He wears ripped black jeans, again in an imitation of
Skye’s wardrobe and either bright white trainers or jet black boots. This helps to
show Riley’s somewhat childlike personality, he sees the world in black and white.
So these are the colours he favours outside of Skye’s adopted reds. His hair is
often messy and unkempt and he favours wearing a number of shiny metal rings.
Much like a magpie, he is drawn to such things, highlighting the character’s
affinity with birds.

(shown wearing his rings) Riley’s coat

33. Rhys Sadler-Scott as Joshua ‘JJ’ Jordan
Joshua favours clothes with little to no colour. Most often wearing a colour scheme of Black and
white. This shows his cold, calculating personality. He heavily favours a black leather Jacket, in
contrast to Jessica’s light brown Jacket. Joshua’s jacket is a symbol of his manufactured
personality. He rarely sheds it, only doing so when showing glimpses of his true personality. At
the end of the series, he disposes of it entirely, no longer content to mask who he is and no
longer masquerading as a sociopath. When he isn’t wearing the Jacket. Joshua favours dark blue
hoodies. Often with the hood up, to show his secretive, closed off nature. He favours heavy boots
for his footwear. To show his more aggressive and cruel streak. His hair is lightly messed up, as an
attempt to pass off as more ‘normal’ to his peers. He is always shown wearing black jeans. Again
emphasising his cold, colourless personality. He always wears either a plain white or plain black T
shirt under his Jacket. However, towards the latter half of the series, as JJ’s psyche becomes
strained and he becomes more emotional, he starts wearing shades of grey, to show his struggle
with identity and his split between his masked persona and his real one. During his biggest shift in
identity, he briefly dons a black beanie hat. Symbolising him starting to seek more warmth in his
life. At the end of the series, he trades his black and white colour scheme for a more neutral grey.
Showing he still has a ways to go before his full development, but also displaying his more
genuine personality change following the events of the series.

35. Donna Kitching as Dr. Elizabeth Baker
Elizabeth goes through the largest number of outfits over the series, despite her more limited
screen time. This is due to her accommodating personality. I.e, she changes her appearance often
as a display of how she adapts to the needs of her patients. She is also very calm and controlled.
Shown in her consistently professional dress sense and short cropped, straightened hair. Her most
consistent outfit is a purple dress with a floral pattern, to show her sweet, feminine nature. With a
white cardigan over the top, to show she is the main figure of morality in the other characters
lives, She’s always shown wearing beige coloured high heeled boots. This shows her neutral
demeanour and how she is on the same level as her patients. (The heels were also a necessity, as
the actor was much smaller than the rest of the cast.) She also wears a pair of light pink tights
again highlighting her femininity and purity. As well as her naivete, as she is often optimistic to
the point of slight ignorance. She usually favours white as her primary colour. Sometimes donning
a white blouse with pale blue jeans. Again highlighting her purity. She also often wears a mustard
yellow jumper, showing her warmth and tying her colours to Jamie, who she has a heavy positive
influence on. She sometimes wears glasses, to help highlight her professionalism. And light
makeup as another nod to her feminine nature. Finally, in colder conditions, she wraps up in a
large dark navy parka and floral white scarf. Further enforcing her neutrality and tying back into
her earthy/floral clothing choices. (Note that after filming her death, the actress had to remain in
the same costume for the rest of the production, which was her usual purple dress and white
cardigan. As it wouldn’t have made sense for the ghost/vision of Elizabeth to be changing outfits.)

37. India-Rain Harrison as River Matthews
River is shown in two different outfits throughout the series, A black coat with red
insides and dark jeans in flashbacks, to show her calm, collected, loving
personality. Her hair is also noticeably curlier in flashbacks, to show her outgoing
and welcoming nature. As a vision however. River wears the exact same colour
scheme as her children. Favouring a red and black checked shirt like her son,
ripped black jeans and simple trainers like her daughter. Her hair is also straighter.
To show her less welcoming persona as a vision. Mostly due to her ghostly
persona being a hallucination. Whereas her flashback self is the real her. She
matches her Children’s colours as a vision both to display a familial link and to
show that she is just a fabrication in the present day. Favouring a reversed colour
scheme to the real River. She is also shown in much darker lighting as a
Ghost/Vision. Demonstrating her more hostile personality as a vision. While the
real River was much sweeter. (As an aside note, the actress was also chosen due to
her physical resemblance to both actors playing the twins, being tall and thin like
Frazer, and round faced with long brown hair like Olivia)

39. Angie Sutcliffe as Maria Jordan
Maria appears sparingly in the series, and therefore only has one outfit. The
most distinctive feature of her wardrobe is her deep, rich, purple blazer. This
helps emphasise her wise and somewhat weary personality, as well as her
warm, forgiving nature. She wears a white shirt underneath, a trait her son
often mirrors. Except hers symbolises her purity and good heart. As well as
her naivete, as she takes a long time to see her sons true nature. Her hair is
straightened and pushed out of her face, to show her controlled, experienced
personality and her development as she begins to pay closer attention to her
son. She wears black trousers, complementing her dark purple blazer and
contrasting her bright white shirt. Showing a similar sense of contrast
displayed by her son, however, she favours more colour in her outfit. Showing
her greater experience and more overt humanity in comparison to Joshua.
