Introduced to Evan, Luke and Anna exploring and settling into their new environment. Evan’s character seems friendly and shy, Luke being loud and a joker, with Anna being quite posh but Luke’s partner in crime.

We see the ‘ghosts’ affecting Evan and his friends environment but no major effects as yet. Evan and his friends act like the majority of typical students and don’t reflect or overact a particular stereotype making the film accessible to the audience.
