"Blocking" is one of my favorite subjects in filmmaking. Well, one of many. Blocking refers to the scheme of movements for the actors and the camera in a scene. Tonight I held a seminar on this for our team, and showed a compilation that I had made, of movie scenes with examples of good blocking and "compositions in movement". Hitchcock was good at this, so I used several examples from his films. Then I let the participants stage small scenes and film them to practice their knowledge.
The picture above is from "Hollywood Camera Work", an excellent resource on (film) blocking and staging.
