How each main character is introduced in terms of Mise-En-Scene in...

Stranger Things:


The positioning of these boys shows that they are all friends and that their location, the basement, represents them as "nerds" along with the way they act which is slightly abnormal speaking of the demogorgon as if it is real. The props they have are dungeon and dragon figures which support the nerd conspiracy. The lighting or lack there of creates an eerie atmosphere which aligns with the scene before as the demogorgon is used as a metaphor for the beast.  The hair of these boys are long and do not resemble hair that was seen as "cool", there is also no makeup present on these guys which shows they aren't hugely abnormal.

Image
This picture is a low angle of a tree the genre could be a comedy about a squirrel. The genre is not really reflected as you cannot gather very much from an image of a tree. It is the point of view of the creature running away from a predator, i believe the angle went well as it really captured how large everything is from a squirrels point of view. I think the shot would be improved if there was some motion blur as this would represent the speed of the squirrels' escape and possibly add tension.  This image here is of a woman "running" in an action genre.The genre is reflected vaguely as the image could belong to a variety of genres. I think the image could be improved through the use of a wider shot as it would allow the viewer to see the "peril" she is in as the scenery around her would be more obvious. However I do think the angle of the close up is unique as most "shoe shots" are on flat ground This still here is an extreme close up of
