The Gallows

The Gallows is a 2015 horror thriller that is set in a high school.  The movie had a budget of $15,000 which is a very low amount compared to the amount that the big 6 uses. This movie was directed by two directors Travis Cluff and Chris Lofing. These directors aren't very known however they have been featured directing films such as Kid Hulk (2011) and Gold Fools (2012), both films aren't very popular and didn't become very successful. The gallows took a large hit in terms of rating after release since now its rated 4.3/10 on IMDb and 15% on Rotten Tomatoes.

In groups we watched the trailer and we had to note down information that we gained from the trailer.
Firstly the narrative wasn't overly clear however it gave the fact away that it was about a haunted high school that is being investigated by students. however not much else was explained.

The other information that the trailer gave was release information and website names these would help the audience find out more and the release information could create a hype for the audience since they know when the move would be coming out

There seems to be not a large amount of setting shown, this only being because its all school based; this meaning that the overall setting is a high school however there are sub-setting within this school. there are about 5 setting within the school that can be seen in the trailer they are:

1. theatre
2. hall-way
3. backstage
4. hall
5. Cupboard

There are four main teenage characters in the trailer. there are also a couple of police officers however they don't seem to be a relevant part to the overall narrative. They seem to be very stereotyped in terms of teenagers since they are seen breaking an entry and vandalism, these are things that are commonly committed by teenagers this making it a stereotype
