Character Choices and Bios

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.
