Mis - en- scene

      In the first eight minutes of Stranger Things, the costume, lighting, and setting all work together to create a strong atmosphere and give the audience clues about the story. The boys wear typical 1980s clothes like jumpers, jeans, and puffer jackets, which shows  that the show is set in the past and suggests a feeling of childhood, normal life, and nostalgia, helping the audience connect with them as regular kids. The lighting in the Hawkins lab is dark, with flickering lights and shadows, which shows (denotation) that something is wrong and gives the audience a creepy, tense feeling (connotation), warning us that danger is near. The setting switches between the scary lab and the boys' cosy basement. The lab shows (denotation) a cold, secretive place, while the basement shows a warm, safe space where the boys are just having fun. This contrast  tells the audience that the normal world is about to be disturbed by something strange and dangerous. The producer succesfully showcases the element of fear and curiousity to his  reader.
