What does the cinematography of The Outsiders look like?

Across 35 sampled frames, The Outsiders builds its coverage from medium shots, with wide compositions carrying much of the rest. Cinematographer Stephen H. Burum keeps most of it in soft, low-key light. Most of the frames play at night or in the failing light of dusk. Anamorphic glass shapes the frame. Focus stays shallow in most of the frames, isolating subjects from their surroundings.
