I was rewatching the shed scene again, and I noticed a little detail in the cinematography of Mike's monologue.

Mike's part is actually composed of two different shots.

And by that I mean it's two different shot set-ups.

Here's the first one.

We can see Will's head takes a third of the scree and Mike is pushed the side– shrouded in darkness. We can also see that Mike is tilted to the left (away from the camera and Will).

Then it cuts to Will.

And then Mike again (aka the second shot).

Now we see that Will's head takes less of the screen. Mike is in the centre, he's looking at Will – facing the camera (taking more space), and there is way more light that's hitting his face.

(here you can see it side by side-)

And the camera wasn't panning or moving that much, no it was relatively steady, this wasn't a natural movement – it was more intentional.

They did this a bit more obviously with Joyce at the beginning of the scene too.

You have one shot, it cuts to Will, and then its a completely different lighting set up.

Like– this one is pretty obvious, but yeah they use a cut to Will as a way to transition the lighting set ups and stuff.

And so I think this little shift in MIke's shot is actually really significant.

In the first part, Mike is describing how he felt before he met Will.

And in this part, he's looking down – he's timid yes, but also his tear is highlight. Like – you can really see it. The way the light hits it, it like casts a shadow and everything. It's emphasising how sad Mike felt at that moment.

But then he saw Will.

And you can see the moment he mentions Will, he turns his head and the tear is less visible.

And as Mike talks about seeing Will for the first time, it cuts to him.

And then it cuts back to Mike as he talks about how he went asked Will to be his friend. And you can see that the tear is still there – but it's basically invisible.

And you can feel that there is more light on him. You can see how he stands up straight, more centred in the frame, more confident. You can see how he looks better.

I feel like this is such a really subtle way of the duffers showing us visually how meeting Will changed Mike for the better.

You begin with Mike recalling before he met Will – sad and lonely (i.e., looking away, crying, less light on him). Then he meets Will (cuts to Will). And then he was no longer sad.

Idk I just thought it was a cool little detail! Lmk what you guys think!
