Mise-en-scene - Stranger Things

 Mise-en-scene - Stranger Things



Costumes: The four main characters : Will, Mike, Dustin and Lucas wear casual clothing like jeans, t-shirts and flannels. This shows that they don't really care how they look and that they choose comfortability over fashion. The character at the start of the trailer was wearing a lab coat which suggests that he works at the lab introduced at the start.


Lighting: The lighting seen throughout the trailer was mainly dark but there were elements of lights flickering. This portrays that the series is most likely to be a thriller/horror themed show.


Actor placement/movement/expression: The movement the main actors used the most were their bikes. The expression that the character Will used was startled and scared whilst the "monster" was chasing him. Will was also running through the forest whilst he was being chased. After the teenage boys finish playing the game Dungeon & Dragon and make their way home, they slowly split up which leads to each of them being isolated.


Make-up & hair: Mike's sister Nancy had casual make-up and had her hair worn down. The man at the start of the trailer had slick side part for his hairstyle.


Props: The main characters used bike as their way of transport to get home and to school. At the end of the trailer Will ends up using the home phone to call 911 and a gun to protect himself.
