1) Choose THREE aspects of mise-en-scene (e.g. costume, lighting and setting) and write a short paragraph for each about the denotation and connotation and what is communicated to the audience.
For example:
Costume: The character at the start is wearing a white lab coat. This suggests to the audience...
Lighting:
Setting:
Props:
Actor placement/movement/expression:
Extension tasks
Watch the extract again. Try and write an analysis of the other aspects of mise-en-scene. Work through all the aspects of CLAMPS (the mnemonic we use to remember mise-en-scene).
Now think about the clip more generally. What does this opening sequence suggest the series will be about in terms of narrative, character and genre? What is it that tells you this?
Read this excellent article on the 1980s references in Stranger Things. Which of these links specifically to mise-en-scene?
