Ed is the leader of three hooded characters who torment and follow Alex home after calling him at a phone booth. Ed is much larger than Alex, showing his dominance. Tom and Ben are Ed's accomplices who help intimidate Alex. For the film, the group cast themselves in the roles. The smallest member, Alex, was cast as the victim to emphasize his vulnerability. Ed, the largest, was cast as the leader to show power over Alex. Tom and Ben filled out the remaining hooded roles to complete the intimidating trio and demonstrate dominance over Alex.

1. Characters
Ed (Leader) - (Hooded character 1) – This character is a dark and mysterious person who is set on
turning Alex's (Victim) life upside down by phoning him randomly at a phone box & then follows him
home in which he brings some of his tormenting friends (Ben & Tom). We only hear this character say
one word, and this word will change Alex's life forever........ “hello”
Ed is sizably bigger than Alex which shows us his dominance & power over him.
This is one call Alex will never forget.
Alex (Victim) – This character is your “average joe” student minding his own business, he is a peaceful
and a non-harmful 'happy chap', when suddenly the phone beside him starts to ring and of course out of
human curiosity he has to answer it, in doing so Alex seals his fate in which his life will be turned
upside down by 3 hooded psycho's.
Tom (Hooded character 2) – Tom is one of Ed's accomplices, we first see Tom in the reflection of a
mirror & a second time side by side with his 'master' Ed at the end of the scene. Tom is also a
mysterious psychopathic killer determined to prove himself to 'master'.
Ben (Hooded character 3) – Ben is the third and final accomplice of Ed he is seen when alex is
walking home & in the final scene with Ed & Tom, but have no fear he is presently watching Alex even
though he is not on screen, his presence is undoubtable.
Casting of characters
When it came to the casting it was easy, we decided to keep the casting within our group to reduce risk
and chances of an outsider not turning up or dropping out. The main character we casted was Alex who
is the victim in our film – we casted him because he is the smallest out of the 4 members and we
thought this would show his vulnerability and innocence well. The second character we casted was Ed
who is the Leader of the Hooded psycho's – we casted Ed as the leader because he is the biggest out of
all 4 of us and this shows the dominance and power over alex. The third character we casted was Tom
who is the second hooded character – we cast him because we needed extra hooded psycho's in our
film and he makes up the dominance and numbers. The last person we casted was Ben who is the third
hooded character – we casted Ben because we needed a third and final hooded psycho and he also
shows dominance and power over alex. Putting all three of these people together makes for one big
scary call for alex.
