• When the social worker arrives at Benny's diner. The pace of the cuts, along side the intense non-diegetic creates an overall sense of panic as the officials look for eleven.
• The electric bolt that comes off of the phone shows Joyce's first sign of communication with Will and some sort of sci-fi other
• Shot reverse shot- jumps from one character to another and back again
• Multi stranded narrative. Underlines the LFTVD drama conventions. In the scene- happening mostly simultaneously except Eleven's escape and discovery. Linking characters at the end of the episode.
