Across 60 sampled frames, Hamlet builds its coverage from medium shots (47% of the sample), with close-ups (33%) carrying much of the rest. Cinematographer John de Borman keeps 38% of it in soft, low-key light. 43% of the frames play at night or in the failing light of dusk. Anamorphic glass shapes the frame. Focus stays shallow in 72% of the frames, isolating subjects from their surroundings.
