In today's video, we'll cover key film blocking techniques that master directors use to create memorable scenes. Grab the FREE film blocking worksheet to stage scenes better: bit.ly/2A8cEIq

We’ll learn about directing actors and the basics of film blocking.

Does the idea of watching two people having a conversation sound exciting? Probably not. You probably wouldn’t pay money to see that. And yet you do every time you go to the movies.

How have so many filmmakers managed to make those conversations exciting?

Well, one big way is with film blocking. Film blocking is the “precise staging of actors in a performance”. In terms of cinema, it’s where you place your actors in the frame.

It’s more than who stands where. Film blocking conveys the mood and tone you convey with what happens in the frame. We’ll use film blocking and mis-en-scene to bolster your knowledge so you can take everything you learn on set.

We’ll incorporate Film Theory, Film Criticism, and practical reasoning to show you how to get the most out of your efforts.

In this video you’ll learn about Space, Shapes, and Lines in film blocking. By considering these components, you’ll be able to block a scene between any subjects in a visually dynamic way that is loaded with subtext.

So start watching and learn more about film blocking today!

Great content. This isn't far from photography composition and framing where elements play certain roles to take the viewers eyes stuck into the scene. A lot of people don't understand the importance of this. Yes it's true not everyone can learn, and some are gifted they don't even know they're doing it right as per explanation in the video. Thanks for this gem!

I'm going to say this is one of the best videos I've seen on YouTube on blocking, I appreciate the everyday words to explain what it is, and how it is achieved. Too many videos out there are just using too many complex terms. Anyone know what film is the first one ? ( the kid out in the snow ) I went through the list of films listed in the description and did a fast Google on a couple I thought it was with no luck.

As just an average film watcher, I'll be more attentive to blocking and how the scene is shot. Thanks. A couple years ago, I watched a video of the opening scene in "Inglouriuos Basterds" where Hans Landa questions the farmer. The YouTuber (a filmmaker) broke down the scene, discusing blocking, and how tension is built throughout the scene.

reading through some of these comments is bloody painful! Job well done @StudioBinder. I love lines and shapes and find this rather refreshing. Just wish it were longer.

I can't believe your channel has only 159k subscribers! Don't get me wrong, that's great, but you deserve so many more! You're one of the very few channels out there giving real, valuable information. This is great! I watched this video a while ago and I clicked without knowing it was the same one, but I stayed anyway because it's so good!!

I’ve learned so much more here on YouTube than I ever will in college. Thanks for helping me and saving me some thousands of dollars.

Great Video reminded me of Confession Scene in Breaking Bad.... Contrast between what happening in the background and whats really going down at table creates so much weight and tension to that scene conversation
