"To Boo or not to Boo"

Act III Scene i

"To be or not to be, that is the question" (00:10-00:15) is probably one of the most quoted and parodied lines from Shakespeare's plays. I found this (adorable) example:

In this screen shot, Hamlet is looking away from the camera and the lighting won't show his face, you can only see his outline which isn't even on the centre, but on the right. The attention is taken away from the subject, leaving only his voice to take the spotlight, making the audience focus on what he is saying and only on what he is saying. The colours are also bleak: black, gray and tan with very little white makes the visual even less appealing.
The colours may play second roll in reflecting the character's feelings, at this point in play Hamlet is in the worst of emotional states.
