Three questions 

 1.The meaning for each of the clamps is c,costume,l,lighting and colour,a,actor placement/movement,s,setting and props.

2.Stranger Things is a drama,fantasy and horror TV show

3.Costume

The costume of the characters in stranger things for example the 1980's t-shirts and jumpers also the typical lab coat on the man in the begin signify's that this is a scientist.Also the costume of the dad in a vest shows that this is a 1980's dad.The connotation of the lab coat could mean that the man was running some tests but ended up going wrong hence why he was running away from a creature in the start of the video.

Lighting

The flickering light throughout the whole video in the garage,elevator,the bike light,lab,bulb is very important for the show because when ever the flickering starts it means that the creature is around and when i goes really bright we know or signify's hat the creature has caught his victim.Also the dark shadows show a sense of horror and darkness.the connotation for this could mean that the lighting for the show is important because it will tell the audience that something is about to happen

Setting

We know the show is set in the 1980's because it has those 1980's bikes, also the warning signs of government laboratory,the board game they were playing dungeon and dragons,land lines and brick phones.They all signify where and time the show is in.the connotation of this could mean that because in these time periods scary things happened so the probably picked that time period for that reason of horror.
