Below is the first 10 minutes of a famous 1964 Russian version of Hamlet with sub-titles. This film received some noteworthy international awards, and is especially praised for its cinematography. I know 1964 may seem ancient to you, and yes, it is, gasp, in black and white. Check it out and let me know what you think. What are some effective choices? Less effective?Shakespeare not only transcends time but also cultures!
I tried to upload the video, but blogger was not cooperating. Here is the link to Hamlet's scene with the ghost. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86SlZDfHBwk&feature=related.You can find other parts of the play on YouTube. Just don't peak ahead!

I think the most effective part of that seen was having the ghost have such a big cape. It really emphasize that he was someone of a high social status but the fact that the cape was dark emphasized that there was something grim and dark about him. The camera angles always created a shadow across his face which i thought was effective because it increased the mystery of his appearance. I felt it was not very effective to have the ghost speak in such a monotone voice because it becomes seemingly less important than when Hamlet speaks with so much emotion.
