Mise-en-scene Stranger Things analysis

-




 1) CLAMPS = Costume, Lighting, Actor, Makeup and Hair, Props, Setting 

 2) Stranger Things is a sci-fi Horror and Fantasy TV show

 3) First CLAMP is Lighting: The denotation for the lighting is I saw green tinted lights flickering in a lab on the opening scene, I also saw the scenes were all set at night time, These also have connotations of horror because it's very common that horror movies and tv shows are set at night to add an eerie feeling. . The connotations for the green lights are the genre for Sci-Fi but also the flickering part tells us something is about to happen, also usually in horror or thriller movies before something scary happens the lights usually turn off or start to flicker.

3b) Second CLAMP is Setting: My denotations for settings are in the opening scene there was a government laboratory and the next scene was in a family home. My connotations for this is the house looked quite old and not really modern so it looks like the time is set in the 80s. I got this idea from the colour but also the mothers hairstyle who was in the house.


3c) Third CLAMP is costume: My denotations for the costume is in the lab scene someone was wearing a lab coat. Connotations: even if you didn't know that the building was a lab then this tells us and the audience that it definitely is a science lab because of the obvious lab coat costume.

 1) A preferred reading of a text is the mindset the producers want you to take away from the piece of media that they are showcasing to you. 2) The oppositional reading is the mindset the producers don't want you to take away from the piece of media, basically the opposite of a preferred reading. It is also the reading when people disagree with the advert and preferred reading. 3) In the trailer Harry Brown want the audience to feel like the teens are a threat and dangerous, he wants the audience to feel as if the teens are the evil or bad guy in the film e.g. the use of weapons and language used but also the clothes they are wearing and the body language. 4)People or teens may reject this mindset and have an oppositional reading because they don't believe the stereotype that ALL teens are a threat to vulnerable people and that teens are dangerous murders. 5) The preferred reading for the McDonald's advert is for the audience to see or watch it and to want to buy and eat t...

Industry and audience power essay

As a result of the internet I think audiences have a stronger power to some extent than they used to but also the industries have some power due to producing whereas audience really controls the sales and viewing rates of the media product. In my opinion the internet definitely makes the audience way more powerful than 20 years ago. The changes in the music industries have had a drastic change for audiences, some of the changes include; streaming applications, for example spotify, YouTube, music and soundclound these streaming devices have increased the easier abilities for audiences to listen to music which also increase the rate of views on music to. Another change on music industries is that the music is now global so everyone In the world can listen to music for free however in the older days you had to but CDs and records or listen to the radio and they did not have online statistics for the popularity of the music. Now also the streaming apps have subscriptions where you have to ...

Make specific, detailed reference to moments in the text using media terminology (e.g. media language - camera shots and movement, editing, diegetic/non-diegetic sound, mise-en-scene etc.) Co-owner of a Lonely Heart Narrative:  The shadow kin king fights to get his heart back, hurting the main character, she uses his powers for the better and heals her mum allowing her to walk, at the end of the ep she goes into a portal to the shadow kin dimension.
