Mise en Scene Stranger Things analysis

 Stranger Things Analysis

Setting: 

In the series, it is usually dark in most scene and it is very eerie. It makes it seem more like a scary and creepy atmosphere. The man in this scene is running and he is running in a corridor and there is barely any lights so it makes the place seem more overwhelming. The walls are spaced out so it gives him more space to run and he sprints quite fast. 

Costume: 

In this scene, the character is wearing an off-white lab coat which suggests that he may be a scientist and testing something out. But he is also wearing a tie, a blue shirt with a belt on his trousers. Most importantly, he also has a lanyard on so it is for sure he works in this place. There is also a pen in his pocket on his jacket. 

 

Actor placement/expression/movement: When we see him in this scene, he is in a rush and seems distressed as if he is in danger and is running away from something. He is not smiling and is breathing heavily. He is moving really quickly and starts pressing the elevator button so he is petrified and needs to escape from whatever is 'chasing' him.
