Stranger Things:

• the background setting seems to be in a abandoned field, consisting of scarecrows. Scarecrows are often associated with horror and sci-fi, potentially creating an eerie effect.
• the characters clothes seem to be out dated and old fashioned representing the outdated setting, also a gas station sign seems to be reasonable old, potentially outlining the lack of technology.
• the child at the top of the poster seems to represent evil, whilst the other characters seem to have innocent and scared faces representing the innocence and 'good' characters.
• props are very significant within the image, a baseball bat is presented with nails in either end suggesting a violent atmosphere/evil trying to harm the innocent. Also a map is present suggesting a mystery type story line creating a potential gripping story line to help absorb viewers.
• within the poster there is a range of characters, boys, girls and older generations. Along with the colour scheme, red creates an angry/devilish type mood; whereas the blue colour scheme creates a more chilling and sinister theme. With these two combined it creates a reasonably scary visage.
