I wish text to speech programs could have natural sounding results like this instead of the robotic sound I always find available for my own video production work.
Both. It's a collaborative medium after all. When I hire a cinematographer, I'd definitely like to have his/her perspective and input on blocking. Making pictures looks pretty isn't really his/her job despite what people may think. It's to tell the story visually. That includes blocking. So definitely both.
blocking and camera placement/lens is usually the director, lighting is DOP but the have to work together and will normally bounce ideas of one another and work in collaboration on all visual aspects. A good director will talk about the costumes with the DOP not just the costume department. Ideally DOP and Director do so with every important visual element.
It's collaborative. Most recently I directed a scene for class and blocked the actors in a way that made sense with the script we were given and to achieve a specific shot I wanted but came to find out that one of the actresses costume reflected light in a funky way so my DP recommended we switch the placement which ended up in me not getting that shot but it was a lot more consistently lit.
It really takes a good eye to get this technique down. Practicing photography and becoming more aware of space/surroundings are great ways to enhance staging. Fun fact: Before even stepping into filmmaking, Stanley Kubrick started his photography career in High School.
Maths in art brought us some of the best and timeless pieces of art. They began combining maths with meaning at around the renaissance and using it as a foundation of meaning. Bach was a maths (with meaning) master. So were the great painters like Da Vinci. That’s what makes Kubric’s work timeless.
Hi! I'm a young french filmmaker and i'm about to make my very first professional short film. I needed that kind of video, so thank you a lot. I doesn't exist yet in France. So thank you so much for your work :)
This just popped up in my recommended feed and I can't tell you how happy I am that it did. That was fantastic. Copious amounts of scrumptious information to soak up and learn from. Bravo, thank you for making this.

@@StudioBinderSir 🙏It's very Helpful video for me.. please give more videos for New Movie 🎥🍿 Director 🫂🌎👑💖🙏🙏 ... How i start Short Film 🎥, please give me all information video about it... Love From India 🇮🇳💖
Wow. I studied film in college. Never did I see such intricacy as you present. It just goes to show that the more you learn, the more you realize how little you know. Well done.
Alexander Sokurov's "Russian Ark"(2002) seems a grand, gigantic and godly example of Film Blocking. To name a few:Hitchcock, PT Anderson, Tarantino, Jonathan Nolan and Wong-kar-Wai intrigue me always with their blocking. This is becoming the best film analysis, film making channel.
@@rehman24fps I have seen all PTA works including HARD EIGHT. Just not overly constructed. It's probably not my cup of tea. Though I do enjoy PUNCH DRUNK LOVE. I think spike Jonez has better plot structure than PTA.
The 1st example has given me so much new inspiration for how I can improve my staging and blocking for the climax of my short film idea! I'm so excited! I'm going to sketch out some of them!!!! Thank you so much! Your videos are SO helpful & inspiring!!!
For timing in comedy blocking, study "Young Frankenstein." The earlier timing of masters like Marx, L&H, and Keaton were superficially influenced by their backgrounds in vaudeville and live theatre, which requires a different timing as in audience-attended TV sitcoms, due to audience interaction.

*Iñárritu. To type "a" with an accent on a mac, press alt+e, then press "a" = á. To type "n" with a tilde on a mac, press alt+n, then press "n" = ñ. Inarritu --> Iñárritu. Love your videos.
I can't believe nobody has followed your narrative production. Audio is really a lunch pin for good "suck you in" production. Also love the topics of lesson. So appreciate and admire your skills.
in technical aspects, angles, camera movements, visual quality overall, use of music, Kubrick 50 years ago was so ahead of anyone else even today...its not even comparable
Haven't seen as many Kubrick films as Spielberg. One of the things I admire most about Spielberg's work is his blocking. In his films you always know where everything thing is in relation to everything else. He doesn't cheat his audience. I don't know how many times I've watched a film and thought, were exactly is this thing in relation to that thing. Or how did he get here from all way over there. Haven't liked all his films but I've never felt cheated by one.
Am waking and sleeping in this channel I cant keep myself not hooking out from this channel I watch it over and over again And ask my friends to watch and subcribe Dear friends great job you people are doinggg
I think each shot You mentioned might not be thought while shooting! I will culminate to a greater meaning ,when editor picks up the right angles ! Kudos to all the editors as well ! 👌
I knew how geometric Kubrick can be but I didn't know how great Spielberg can be with a more conventional style, you know, cutting more but it actually felt like watching an interesting series. One blocking I fell in love was: The Color Purple (Steven Spielberg 1985) when Danny Glover blocks his wife and we the audience clearly see his intentions with the other black woman, Spielberg can be an evil genius xD
That's really awesome to hear! We also have a blog that has a plethora of film articles for your learning and enjoyment, feel free to read through and search for topics you want to see: studiobinder.com/blog/
It's something I have kinda noticed in Kubrick's films and in Scorcese's Taxi Driver I didn't know what it was called. But broken down like this and with the visuals!! Wow! 😱😳😯 Also Kubrick was a absolute MASTER!!!!
I'm glad you uploaded this video for those who dream of making movies like me and also, it's always important to learn from directors like Kubrick or Spielberg.
That last shot with Witwer and Anderton always struck me as a very interesting directorial choice: normally the one person seated or shown "higher" is the one in power. Spielberg subverts this trope: it is Witwer -- while shown crouching below Anderton -- who has the higher authority. Very interesting analyses (and channel, btw.!)
Combined with the gentleness in his voice when he says, “ looks like you’ve been left out of the loop” it feels like someone crouching down to get on a child’s level. It’s both patronizing and kind. Absolutely brilliant characterization.
We're glad we've opened your eyes to see a familiar scene in a new way! Feel free to check out our blog for similar content: studiobinder.com/blog/ Cheers!
Thats why Spielberg is so special and masterful, he makes you feel the story, not making you notice the technique. You cant say the same about Cuaron or Scorsese and those continious shots.

Most of my work was for the live stage but when I was learning then eventually directing, I studied not only all the great stage diretors but the film didrectors as well because in many aspects they are the same - what are you attempting to tell the audiance and how do you direct their attention without them knowing you are thereby taking away from their eperience. While there are a million things that keep you awake at night as a director, blocking was always the one that kept me awake at nights the most.
Genial simplemente bravo eres un canal que nos enriquece de los detalles del cine y como lo explicas tan bien me encantaria que subtitularas gran parte de tus videos ya que no hablo ingles y de verdad me encanta tu contenido
I would also add Bertolucci, Bunuel, Bergman, Allen, and Truffaut to this list. Masters of camera and blocking. The ultimate master is Fellini- watch 81/2, Amacord, and Ginger and Fred. No one has that total feel for cinema like Fellini did.
Glad you like this analysis. Blocking is definitely an interesting topic to analyze⏤Hitchcock is great at this as well. In the meantime, please check out our blog as it is a great resource for filmmaking techniques like blocking, here's a great article that talks about it a little further: www.studiobinder.com/blog/film-blocking-techniques/ Enjoy!
Nice video. One very interesting example I keep remembering is from Spielberg's War of the Worlds. The family is in a car, speeding past of other stalled cars. It seems to be one shot, but the camera moves in and out of the speeding car, while following the dialogue. Would love to see how they did that. :)
Also , I see lots comments on the voiceover and I thinks it's Terrence Stamp or a very good impression of him. Love these videos. Notifications set to ALL 👍✌️👏
Unique mine gold for producers in RU-vid. Great narration, awesome voice, stunning information. I love it! You got like but if I can I give you 1000 likes and also I already signed for future incredible products. Standing ovation for you guys!
