Mise-en-scene: Stranger Things analysis



 The first episode of stranger things uses clothes that you would see on a teenager from the 1980s including denims, baseball caps and blazers (the shoe) to show the difference in fashion over years.

They use a dark lighting to put the viewers in a uncomfortable position not knowing what is in the dark compared to be able to see in the light. They also use dark to foreshadow the darkness of the show later on.

They use the character running and loading a shotgun to show it may be a thriller later on and show how dark the show is that a boy is being hunted and forced to use a gun. This also left viewers excited not knowing what can happen  next.


They use the characters old fashioned hair to show that they in a time ago and they also show most of the characters with medium length hair to show that they're young.

A shotgun was used to show there will be violence later on in the show. A boardgame was used to show the activities a young person in the 80s would do.

They set the second half in a dark forest to install fear and unpredictability.
