3 CAMERA SHOTS

Close up shot: In this shot, you can't see the background as this scene only revolves around her. She shows a lot of facial expressions to suggest that she's in panic or distress or maybe something went wrong. This shot allows the audience to see a emotional reaction. Close up shots are usually an aspect of a characters face allowing us to observe how they are feeling at the time.







Over the shoulder shot: In this shot, you can see the person's point of view in which you can spot them looking from behind maybe to suggest they are in danger as they are fully unaware of it. It gives a visual representation of the background and this shot specifically has this angle, so we as the audience can notice all the imperfections.






Two shot, medium close up: In this shot, you can see the two characters together, making it a two shot as usually the characters are together. In this shot, you can detect the characters facial expressions as they look frantic and unsettled about something. This is shown when the  camera gets closer to them 





1 CAMERA ANGLE

Low angle shot: In this shot the character is portrayed in a low angle to show that the character looks vulnerable or in fear, it can invert the dynamic to make the audience feel smaller then they really are. This focuses on the characters state showing their weaknesses. 





MIS-EN-SCENE

The setting gives off from a lab that has forbidden chemicals in it. It helps us see what the character environment and surroundings are within themselves. This show also suggests a sense of superpower because of all these portals that is shown in the video.

Mise-En-Scene stranger things analysis.

LIGHTING The lighting here gives an eerie sense of terror because in this scene, the lights flickered which means maybe its foreshadowing that  something will come later on the series that could have an impact on the actors.
This light bulb its very bright maybe musing that it will explode soon because of how vigorous  it gives. It also might suggest that everything will go smoothly as the series progressively  goes on. It also looks very unsettling.


COSTUMEThis doctors costume has denotations of formal and ready to work.  White lab coats , lanyards , tie. Very passionate for his job however it slights juxtaposes how he feels as I can see he looks terrified  of something in the  distance.


Very rural youth clothing that these actors are purposefully wearing maybe to tell the audience that they are children with child like mentality. The hat being different colours, the patterns on the jacket etc.

PROPS
This phone connotes connection and a sense of isolation as you can tell by the panic he gave. 





The bike suggests that the actor is on a mission to do something. In this scene he looked very scared that he fell of his bike maybe suggesting that his body fully shut down because of how he felt at the time.
