Mise-en-scene: Stranger Things analysis

 Costume: The character at the start is wearing a white lab coat. This suggests to the audience that the character works at a government lab and that something dangerous is going to happening since he is running away because of how scared and terrified he is.

lighting: At the start of the trailer a character was seen running from a mysterious character and then light was flickering and it was very dark; it also happened throughout the trailer. This suggests to the audience that when ever the light starts flickering and it gets dark the same character will appear again.

setting: The building at the start of the trailer was a government lab; the sign says restricted and later on the trailer we see a dark foggy forest which then suggests that something bad is going to happen. Since it says restricted it suggests that the government is making something dangerous.

Props: A character is trying to fix a tv from the setting of 1980s and a character at the end is holding a gun because he is sacred from something that is outside.

Actor placement/movement/expression: The characters are riding bikes and then go separate ways and are isolated which then suggest that something bad is going to happen; we find that out later in the trailer that since the isolated and sacred character was targeted by the ominous character at the start of the trailer.
