Across 65 sampled frames, Casablanca builds its coverage from medium shots (60% of the sample), with close-ups (22%) carrying much of the rest. Cinematographer Arthur Edeson keeps 60% of it in soft, low-key light. 78% of the frames play at night or in the failing light of dusk. Vintage glass shapes the frame. Focus stays shallow in 68% of the frames, isolating subjects from their surroundings. The production design places the film in the 1940s.
