This give an anticipation to the audience and the audience will already know that something bad is going to actor.
Actor placement / movement
The actors' movement were really fast and rapid. This will show the audience they are in fear and are trying to rescue themselves from the creature they are running away from. The audience couldn't see or know what the actors were afraid of. However, becuase of the actor's sudden reaction and their facial expression the audience was already notified that there was really frightened by the thing they saw.
Setting
In the first few minutes of stranger things, most of the scenes were based at night time. the areas they were in were really local and common. Also, in the beginning of the video, a person was running in corridor in a face pace in terror and thought he was saved as he safely arrived to the lift in the laboratory. However, this creature or thing was really sneeky and got into the laboratory and into the lift. This will leave the audience many questions like why scare these specific people? or what is it? and also leave them in suspense.
