How Kubrick, Spielberg, and Inarritu Stage their Scenes
Stage your Scenes like a Pro ►► bit.ly/31MhtR7
Today’s video is a scene analysis and video essay on staging and blocking your scenes like Spielberg’s Minority Report, Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange, and Inarritu’s Birdman.
There are a few secrets to directing a cinematic scene. Above basic filmmaking theory is the actual craft of filmmaking, which includes staging and blocking your scenes in your films or television shows.
This is something you can learn without the need for film school because composition in film is something you can only learn through careful film analysis and on set experience as a director.
Blocking in film can seem simple enough until you actually step on set, and that’s when you learn that directing a movie is far from easy. Our video essay and film analysis explains some of the profound and subtextual decisions made during scenes in Spielberg’s Minority Report, Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange, and Inarritu’s Birdman.
Film directors have to juggle the script, the talent, the camera, staging, blocking, and they’re responsible for every creative decision on a movie or television show. This video essay and film analysis will go over blocking in film, composition in film, and teach you some of the most important lessons you can learn on how to direct actors and staging your scenes.
Our filmmaking tips will help you build better scenes that convey an idea to the viewer while also entertaining the viewer. Our video will show you how to shoot and direct a scene like Spielberg’s Minority Report, Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange, and Inarritu’s Birdman.
This lesson is like a free online film school that covers composition in art, directing movies, Filmmaking tips, blocking in film, composition in film, and how to direct actors. By the end you’ll have a better idea on how to direct a scene and movie like the masters.

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.
@xmasthyme

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.
i can not get over how mathematical all this stuff is like wtf mind blowing, the three directors are geniuses in the work that they do

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.

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.

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.
MUNICH is another masterful film. The blocking in that film is stunning.

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.
I'm amazed how much details could be in one scene of the movie, I love your program I became one of your subscribers
best thing I've found on youtube for quite some time, very good!!!! informative, makes so much sense
that opening sequence combined with the music was chilling

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
Some of your best work yet. Love the breakdowns. Thank you.

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.

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.
When I watch the movie I was blown away by that particular frame 3:45, bastards you put that shot in this video!!
