Psychographics... Stranger things:  Age: Teenagers 15+ maybe early 20s Gender: Male, guys are usually more interested in sci-fi shows Ethnicity: I do not think it is aimed at a specific ethnicity because there isn't anything related to ethnicity in this apart from characters being of different ethnicities. Demographics: This is most likely aimed at students/young adults as it is only on Netflix and most young people use Netflix.

Stranger things: The target audience for stranger things is most likely boys, this is because it is a sort of sci fi mystery and because girls don't usually like sci-fi as much as guys do.

Stranger things: How Dustin is represented through the types cinematography… This scene here focuses primarily on Dustin’s face, emphasizing his emotions with his smile using a close up shot, you can see that he wants to please Nancy with the last slice. This represents Dustin as a caring character which is also shown later in the series. During this scene, before the abduction of Will, the shot is quite wide and the surroundings are dark. This is after Dustin is left by Will representing Dustin’s feeling of abandonment as he says “oh come on!” as he runs out of stamina.  In this scene Dustin and the bully are in a close us while the background remains out of focus which prompts us to look at their faces. From this, you can clearly tell that Dustin is distressed showing that he isn’t a “tough guy” but also shows his big heart again as he pleads for Mike not to jump even though he is convinced his teeth will be cut out.
