Mise-en-scene: Stranger Things analysis

 Costume: The man was wearing like a white lab coat with a suit underneath. The children wear comfy casual clothes with a retro kind of 80's style like plaid long sleeve shirt and t-shirts. This suggests that the man was more important and smarter because of the lab clothes and the children are just like normal children who weren't expecting anything bad to happen to them.

Lighting: At the start the first scene was seen where a man was running through a hallway and panicking to open the elevator door. The lighting was unnatural because it is artificial and not like sunlight and the lights were also flickering. This suggests that something bad or scary might happen like a jump scare or as seen in the video the man death from the creature called a Demogorgon (I think)

Setting: The setting at the start was in a lab where the Demogorgon was set free and the lights were flashing everywhere. The children were in the basement playing a game where the Demogorgon won because of mike playing the Demogorgon and defeats everyone. Also it was will's turn but he couldn't defend/win against mikes attack and lost. This suggests that they foreshadowed their future because they were attacked by the Demogorgon in the game then will got taken by it after they left.

 Extension task

The children wear comfy retro clothes whilst playing in the basement. The lighting was artificial everywhere in every scene because at the start they were in a lab where the lights were artificial, at the house in the basement and then upstairs the lights were artificial and even when they rode their bikes outside they had streetlights but also the moon. The actors were always running or riding away because they were always in a rush. They didn't really have any visible looking makeup on but maybe the mom and sister had natural make up on. The children had the little character things when they were playing the board game. They were in the basement most of the time then went outside into the forest where will was taken.

This opening sequence suggests that this could be a sci-phi /horror series because of the supernatural powers eleven has and the laboratory at the start where something went wrong in the lab and this ended up killing the first character of the series.

The first one because she starts to talk about the characters and their appearances/personalities.
