Mise En
Scene:
Costume:
o Barb muted
pastel clothing
o Eleven
hair/Benny yellow outfit- is non-gender specific/androgynous-mysterious alien
character. Hasn’t been well nurtured
o Government
dark clothes, authority menacing reflecting their intentions
Lighting:
o Warm
lighting in diner contrast/juxtaposing coming in from the dark- perhaps
foreshadowing her evil ways
o Nancy room,
warm tones/personal and intimate decor and another more threating individual
cold dark outsiders
Camera:
o Long shot
from Elevens point of view looking at Benny and Connie (social worker) undermines
the government authority figures as we trusted her and she kills Benny
o Subverting
our idea of a government figure by murdering someone who is nice
o Conforms
o High angle
looking down on Connie- helpful nurturing women looked down upon man from his
setting. She subverts the stereotype of someone caring profession
o Nancy and
Steven- level with each other so are equal. Audience will be able to relate to
this intimate scene of the stereotypical bright girl with jock
o Dr Brenner’s
menacing entrance scans the room looking for Eleven- genre and narrative. His
suited and black coat presence exerts authority.
o Three boys
shot of will search shows Dustin hesitance and makes him the more cowardly
Sounds:
o Three boy
shot of Will search
o Diegetic
dialogue: ‘If you get one wrong you take an item of clothing off’ his
stereotypical cheeky, lusty jock type. Shows him to be a selfish character
o White
rabbit 80s/ Toto Africa / Every little bit by Ian
o On screen
diegetic sound- announces violent aggressive government entrance
o The songs
volume is louder is when she’s in a vulnerable position and as Nancy takes back
control the volume is quitter just as in the diner when the aggressors enter
the volume of music goes up when gender is in control
Setting:
o Night time
and rain/thunder and lighting makes it a challenge to hear, find Will ect more
mysterious
o Yellow
phone communication
o Body
language crucial for Eleven/Connie/Steven
Editing
o Nancy and
Steve longest scene- most screen time protagonists
o Gun flash-
aggressor- fast paced straight cuts action adventure
o Boys in
woods seamless transition parallel with the camera shot we mentioned earlier
o Sound
bridge between rain and thunder boys in woods to sound in house
o Pace slow
in Nancy bedroom, time slows
o Order of
narrative simultaneous apart from Eleven moving narrative
