Four General Miseen-scene

In the TV show the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina setting, lighting, costume, and staging are all very important factors when describing the spooky story of Sabrina becoming one with her powers and trying to defeat the Dark Lord.

Setting: The setting of magic school, Baxter High School, and the home of residence all play a important role in describing the plot of the show. Magic school describes the setting of where and how Sabrina should be in her witch life where as Baxter High School is her other side of her, her human self. The story relies on these two settings to describe the key component of Sabrina trying to balance two parts of her life. Sabrina being half human and half witch makes this one of the most important  of the setting story. Sabrina's house demonstrates the one place where they feel truly comfortable and accepted for both sides of her.

lighting: The show relies on lighting to show the darkness of the story. When describing the character of the dark lord and the coven of night the lighting reduces and becomes dark and ominous. This portrays the spooky feeling that the show relies on when telling the story of witch craft. Sabrina's light almost white stands out in the darkness. This shows that Sabrina is the light in the dark and stands out from the rest.

Costume: The TV show relies on costume to share the role that the characters play. An example of this is shown with Harvey Kinkle, Sabrina's love interest. Harvey is always seen sporting his varsity football jacket showing the innocents of this human character. The jacket resembles the athletic and bold Harvey and gives this character a human like appearance. The witches seen in this show are all seen wearing Gothic attire. This gives the witches a dark appearance. The character, the dark lord, raises fear in both witches and humans. This is due to the costume of a goat skull with antlers. The lack of facial expressions gives the viewers a creepy and untrustworthy vibe.   

Staging: The staging found in magic school is creepy and mysterious. The rooms are five pointed star shape, this gives a demonic attribute to the witches in this show. The hallways in this school are described to be never ending, giving a almost trickster view. And in the center of the school a great big statue of the dark lord towers over the students, invoking fear to the coven of night. The school has dark dungeons and grave yards with students that have mysteriously died. The school of witch craft uses staging to present a dark and unforgettable evil to the story.
