Mise-en-scene: Stranger Things analysis

 In the first eight minutes of Stranger Things, the mise-en-scene shows the contrast between a scary science lab and a childs house.The flickering fluorescent lighting in the lab denotes a power failure but connotes that a monster is taking over, which quickly changes to the warm basement lights that connote safety.The setting moves from the cold concrete hallways of the lab denoting a government building but connoting a scary trap, to a cozy basement.The props such as the game pieces denote a fun activity, but connotates the unawareness of the danger of what is coming. These elements communicate to the audience that the boys' normal everyday lives are about to be ruined by a real-life monster and they dont even see it coming.
