Mise-en-scene Stranger Things analysis.

 1) What do each of the letters in CLAMPS stand for? The C stands for costume,L stands for lighting,A stands for Actor placement and movement,the M stands for Make-up,the P stands for props and S stands for setting.


2) What TV genre is Stranger Things? You can use the IMDB website to help you with this. Stranger Things consists of 3 different genres Supernatural,Horror,Science Fiction. 

3) Choose THREE aspects of mise-en-scene (e.g. costume, lighting, setting) and write a short paragraph for each about the denotation and connotation in the opening 8 minutes of Stranger Things. What is being communicated to the audience? How does the mise-en-scene help to communicate the genre of Stranger Things?

Its dark at 12:00  and and there is  a light in the house which tries to tell us that Will who seeks for help and tries to then finds his parents but fails when he cannot find anyone but his pet dog at his house which scares Will and he gets panicked and starts hyperventilating as he sees a dark figure chasing him.The story then ends with Will getting taken which tries to show the paranoia of being chased frantically.The mise-en-scene helps to show the genre by the clothing worn by Will and his friends during the series.

Later it shows kids playing maybe because there all friends that like to play and shows when one friend goes home and gets taken away by a evil entity of some sorts which shows juxtaposition of the two scenes switching from good and playful to paranoia and fear which also may show how the fear building up for Will. 

In the beginning it shows a man running in a lab at 20:00  from a evil thing similar to what killed Will when we see the man running of the guy it builds up fear in scenes and after then switches to kids playing which highly shows juxtaposition and paranoia.
