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.
