Mise-en-scene: Stranger Things analysis

 Create a new blogpost called 'Mise-en-scene: Stranger Things analysis'. 

1) Choose THREE aspects of miser-end-scene (e.g. costume, lighting and setting) and write a short paragraph for each about the denotation and connotation and what is communicated to the audience.

For example: 

Costume: The character at the start is wearing a white lab coat. This suggests to the audience...

Lighting:  was dark and scarily and it was diching  

Setting:  it was in a house and in basement and it was in forces. 

Props:  bikes and  lighting and there was tv and  there was hats and there was bags.

Actor placement/movement/expression: scared worried and upset.

Extension tasks

Watch the extract again. Try and write an analysis of the other aspects of mise-en-scene. Work through all the aspects of CLAMPS (the mnemonic we use to remember miser-end-scene).

Now think about the clip more generally. What does this opening sequence suggest the series will be about in terms of narrative, character and genre? What is it that tells you this?
