The directors also take advantage of many different cinematographic techniques that change the pace and mood of the movie well. For example, close-up shots of Robin Hood and Maid Marian are interspersed with long shots of the castle. Michael Curtiz and William Keightley are especially effective during scenes like the royal banquet, the archery tournament, and especially the fight and chase scenes in which the overall visual effect is more important than any of the details. However, The Adventures of Robin Hood is far from being a monotonous directorial project. The directors alternate between shooting styles and change the pace of the movie regularly. The Adventures of Robin Hood captures adventure and excitement especially well for a film produced in 1938 without any special effects. The directors impart a message of social justice into what has become a cliche legend. Depicting Robin Hood as a political leader and not a rebel without a cause was especially effective. Making the movie a fun comedic swashbuckler also helps bring the legend alive. Robin Hood is romanticized, as any legendary hero should be. His character is rather simple, and Robin Hood has no dark side whatsoever. The film has a happy and predictable ending, but still manages to be entertaining.

Peasants wear tattered rags, while Prince John's henchman all have metal hats. Props ranging from weaponry to food establish The Adventures of Robin Hood within the time period of the Dark Ages. The use of horses also helps capture the legendary tale. Art direction is particularly good during the archery tournament, such as when Robin Hood's arrow splits his opponents.
