The Blocking
Blocking - How the actors use the space and move in relation to the camera and other actors in the scene.
Staging - The positioning of actors within the frame as well as the movement of the camera itself.
If you have a scene from a movie you think is worth adding please let us know.
Thanks to DP Richard Vialet for giving us this idea and access to his ever-growing list.
This page is dedicated to the memory of Director Jonathan Kaplan who would have loved it.
