The First Ghost Scene

Based on the films that I’ve watched about the Ghost Scene, I believe they were all played well. Mel Gibson and Ethan Hawke were the only films where the ghost actually comes in contact with Hamlet. In the Branagh Version of the Hamlet, It was a more dramatic effect, when it comes to the ghost scene. The lighting was very dark and the music was very suspenseful. The ghost never comes in contact with Hamlet.

If I were to interpret this scene through film myself, I would lean to the more dramatic effect. I would like to have the suspense music, the whisper of the ghost and the dark lighting. I would like to leave my audience questioning themselves on to what is going to happen next. I would like Hamlet to be exaggerated with his crying and his raspy voice. I would blame Claudius for everything that happened, and everything that is going to happen in the future.
