Mise-En-Scene;Stranger Things Analysis.💕

LIGHTING; in the clip we can see a variety of different lighting settings that are used to approach a specific feel/genre throughout it. We can infer that this was used in order to create a mysterious atmosphere especially when the lights flickered just as the boys left Mikes house. As an audience this makes us eager to watch the rest of the episode because we’d want to know the meaning about it. Another thing that was seen was the light bulbs and lights flickering in the house of Will. We can infer that this was done so that we are aware of an evil presence following or possibly about to attack this character. As an audience the use of really bright light and then suddenly really dark light may scare the watchers which will make them eager to watch on. 

PROPS;In the clip we can see props that are usually associated with the 80s for example the telephones, board games made from wood, the bicycles with lights and baskets etc.. We can infer that these were used in order to help enhance the setting of “the 80s” as you won’t really find any of the main props that were mentioned in our current century which overall develops the setting of the episode. As an audience this will excite them as seeing props from the 80s might trigger memories from that specific time which will want the audience to continue to watch the clip.

SETTING;at the beginning the clip is set in a long hallway with nothing on the walls. Later in the clip, the setting changes to what looks like a basement. the basement was dark as there was only one lamp used as a source of light. the basement was very crammed with a lot of stuff therefore making it hard for the children to find the dice that they have dropped.
