Camera shots and angles

1. Camera Shots

This is an over the shoulder camera shot. This specific type of shot allows us to view the subject (the computers) from behind the person. It also allows us to the perspective from the characters point of view.

This specific shot is called a two shot. This means two people are the subjects of the scene and are usually captured in medium close up. This allows the audience to focus on the specific conversation between the two people and makes them the subject.

This camera shot is known as a close up. This gives us a close aspect of the character (typically their face). This gives the audience a more transparent view of the characters emotion.

2. Camera angle:

The viewer is viewing this through a bird's eye angle. This suggests inferiority and insignificance towards the characters position in that particular moment.

3. Mise-en-scene:

The setting and props in this scene symbolise the genre and base of the whole series: sci-fi. It connotes futuristic technology meaning this show is set in a much later time period. The props illustrate a science fiction and controlling setting as the machine is advanced technology and displays a paranormal era.

Extension: 

The use of the God's eye angle is this connotes the weakness and inferiority of the man as the monster/supernatural being hovers over him completely and holds significant harm and danger to the man or any human for the matter. His facial expressions, specifically the wrinkles on his forehead shows hoe stress and petrified he feels in the moment as he sees the monster. This camera angle allows the audience to see the significance in power the Demogorgon holds over the man and lets us view the great emotion he is feeling in that moment.

Mise-en-scene

 

Stranger things paragraph:

At the beginning of the clip, the first character that makes an appearance on the screen is wearing a white laboratory coat. This suggests in a sly manner that the genre of this series could be sci-fi. The lab coat connotes research of some type and science. The initial setting connotes a sense of danger and mystery. Its a dark and unknown place which creates tension and eagerness for the viewers watching. The flickering of the lights adds to the settings supernatural vibe. It illustrates an idea of there being something beyond human control to contain this demon. The expressions and actions don't suggest something of normal human nature but a being beyond normal characteristics.
