In what ways does this scene target and maintain audiences?
Scene: Hawkins at breakfast
- Mise-en-scene, fluffy dressing gowns (comfortable), intertextual reference to British sitcoms stereotypical waking up scene but relaxed e.g. Outnumbered is always frantic breakfasts trying to get kids ready etc- Anita causes less stress.
- set breakfast table "is it a party" "no this is what breakfast is meant to be like" implying they don't have a perfect breakfast usually - relatable. Hyperreal breakfast like an advertisement. Aspirational middle class dream.
- Sci-fi but doesn't shove it down your throat (Anita exact repetitive laugh immediately stopping). Creepy.
- Maddy "thats exactly what she is" reminds us they own Anita
- Editing on the character talking and reaction shots of the creepiness with close ups being freaked out by Anita's life.
- Polysemic reading simultaneously comedic and creep
- Soft but high key lighting, grey and british. Also could show a middle ground for the scene funny (white) and creepy (black) with it treading the line. Connotations of wealth and comfort.
