Mise-en -scene :stranger thing ananlysis

Costume: The children were wearing wearing comfy clothes as they were at one of there houses playing boardgames so they were just chilling out. Also there were men wearing lab coats possibly symbolising that they were doing experiments

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 the lights were also flickering ,not sunlight . This suggests that something bad was going to happen either a chase scene or potentially a death scene.

Setting: At the start they were at a laboratory where a potentially dangerous creature was created or possibly being held captive. This scene could possibly suggest that something dangerous is going to happen. Also they were at a child's house playing a board game and going home at night time which also could suggest that something dangerous is going to happen because bad things always happen at night.

Extension task:

Action/Actors: The actors at the beginning of the show looked scared and panicked possibly because something went wrong in the lab as there was an alarm and they were running away. Also the lights were flickering meaning that you needed to get out.

Make-up/hair: There wasn't really anything significant about the hair or make-up , the guys had no make-up and there hair was normal and the girls probably had little to none make-up and there hair was either up in a ponytail or bun or down. This suggests that no-one really cared about how they looked and they were just trying to get there work done.

Props: The pipes in the laboratory were bursting with steam possibly showing that something went wrong and that you need to evacuate. Also the kids were playing a board game with dice possibly symbolising that they are just normal kids who have a normal childhood and don't know what's to come.
