Initial notes on ST's S1 E1

In Media Res - straight into the action in opening scene (run through lab)
Foreshadowing - Will playing D&D
Two separate worlds happening at once - town & lab
Searching in lab = unclear visual (characters are as in the dark as the audiences)
A lot of unanswered questions
Flashback at 'castle byers'
Search party is organised - always dark when looking
Bad weather - pathetic fallacy
Boys find El

Scene changes to build suspense (quick & loud)
Characters: mike, Lucas, Dustin, Will, Hopper, Joyce, Jonathan, Nancy, Steve
Themes: Horror/thriller - jump scares, darkness and tense building music
Events: will goes missing cops search, boys search, eleven appears and find boys
Something wrong at lab.
