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.

Where did you find the narrator? His voice is better than any production values.
His voice sorta reminds me of liam neeson
Yeah, but can Liam Neeson get you pregnant with his voice?
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.
Will it be a boy or a girl ?
He reminds me of the guy on Hitchhiker's Guide .
I always felt Minority Report was brilliant but this scene dissection shows how intentionally brilliant it is. Wow.
Agreed.
Such and underrated movie. So was AI. They aren't perfect but are so much better than a lot of perfunctory garbage out there
Precisely!
Studio Binder is God's gift for budding filmmakers 💓
❤️
Absolutely! I'm in love with the content. :D
THEY NEED MORE VIEWERS!
They truly are! I live they’re videos
I asked StudioBinder to marry me. No answer, YET.
How much of this kind of planning lies in the hand of the director and not the cinematographer? And vise versa? Great video!
Typically they work hand in hand to make sure all bases are covered. Thank you!
Director makes creative decisions cinematographer technical decisions, but the director has the last word
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.
I’ll never be able to just watch a movie without over analyzing it ever again.
The more you analyze, the better you understand.
Just remember not to chase after red herrings 😉
Ry Ryan I know right?!!?!?!
If you consider this over analyzing, you don’t think about much art, literature, or even video games, do you?
@@BlownMacTruck now now, noone likes a snob.
@@BlownMacTruck burst out laughing when you mentioned video games
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.
StudioBinder something I’m very interested in and would love to try and learn
hippiecheezburger yes the media is a whole bother world why un think they make so much money
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.
"without math, there is no art" Luca Pacioli, collaborator of Leonardo Da Vinci.
Kubrick was way ahead of his time and from another planet, what a legend
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 :)
I know it's late but good luck on ya journey, my brother. Stay strong and things will happen, trust me.
Another invaluable piece of cinema info! Thank you
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!!!
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.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the support!

@@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 🇮🇳💖
Im in love with the voice of the narrator
What a powerful narrator voice... You could try recording audiobooks!
This is one of the best film making videos ever made - it's really inspiring!
Always admire the use of leading lines in photography. Kubrick is genius. Brilliant composition by Inaritu
That narrator... Would love him to narrate my life, almost like The Stanley Parable
I can imagine how many shitty lives sound magnificent on his voice!
Yessss!!! I LOVE that game!!!
as a casual moviegoer, this is one of those aspects where you don't even bother thinking about until someone mentions and tells why it is what it is.
Kubrick is a genius. There isn't much else to add.
Fantastic analysis and choice of talented directors for the lesson.
Thanks so much.
The breakdown of the first one blew my mind!!!! And the cane and the shadows wow!!!!
very interesting presentation and explanation of the scenes, thank you very much Studio Binder!
that opening sequence combined with the music was chilling
Oh I love this analysis of art with such a wonderful voice. Absolutely pleasant.
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.
Thanks for such a video! I can´t afore filmaking classes but I always learn a lot with this channel. Love you all guys!!
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/
This video is absolute gold! Thank you so much for uploading it!
best thing I've found on youtube for quite some time, very good!!!! informative, makes so much sense
A video deconstructing Andrei Tarkovsky or Bergman’ styles please!!!
I’d love to see this
Unique mine gold for producers in UA-cam. 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!
I'm amazed how much details could be in one scene of the movie, I love your program I became one of your subscribers
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
It's amazing man! How u guys analyze....loved it ♥️♥️
Some of your best work yet. Love the breakdowns. Thank you.
Mind Blowing. Did not knew so much thought went in to camera placement and movement.
Very Informative....i think its best video on youtube fir showing importance of blocking and making ur film more EFFICIENT nd EFFECTIVE
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.
Where's the blocking in PT Anderson's content? You mean Wes Anderson?
@@williamdowd3985 try watching/analyzing "There Will Be Blood" or "Punch-Drunk Love"
@@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.
Great stuff guys!
I know right. This is literally free film school.
This just gave me a new perspective on directing. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Absolutely! So glad we're able to be part of your creative process!
StudioBinder Indeed! I will implement this on a short film I have coming up.
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 ! 👌
Best and favorite channel on UA-cam thank you ❤️
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.
Fantastic video! Really loved the diagrams on the side. Would love to see more!
We're glad you liked it! I'll let the team know!
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.
After watching your videos, most of things are going above my head. It will take time to understand this type of cinematography
This is absolutely amazing!!! MOre of this please!!!!!
MUNICH is another masterful film. The blocking in that film is stunning.
you guys are uuuuuunbelievable with the content!! I LOVE IT 😍 even the email newsletter
Children of Men is one of my favorite movies. The blocking and staging are brilliantly done.
And no one knows about it even though it won the Oscar.
Innaritu directed the ravenant opening scene in single shot with perfectly fine blocking and staging
Professional presentation, witty points.. thank you
this channel is pure gold, thanks for this amazing video!!

"There's a little treat aimed at his face" ..🙄
(a dick)
He took that wordplay from graffiti further down the mural that talks about a treat.
11:52 inarritu recieving an academy award with that soundtrack was so cinematic and Powerfull kudos to studio binder and team
What's the name of that track?
@@SANJOPVARGHESE I tried but I can't fount it
Wow. Great breakdown. I wouldn’t have thought of half of these while watching the movie.
Hitchcock did this amazingly. Just watch Vertigo.
Hitcock 🤣🤣
@@laboon344 Oops, lol.
About cinematography , Rear Window (movie) has a unique perspective
Or stranger on a train. Pretty much any Hitchcock movie.
Was looking for this comment. Vertigo.
incredible video, didnt think about anything else during it, and for a youtube video thats gold
You guys are awesome! Learning so much. Thank you! Any books you recommend on blocking, staging, camera movement?
The way the shirt the guy is wearing at 3:50 lines up with the profiles of cruise and Farrell is really pleasing
The blocking from the 3 rooms scene with fixed camera in 'Signs' M. Night Shyamalan is brilliant
Clear definition of Blocking and Staging :) . Thank you.
I love Studiobinder! Thank you for making me learn film making. ❤️
It such a very great work you did on your channel ! Thank you a lot :)
You guys do such an amazing work! Can´t stop watching your videos! Thanx 1000 fps :))
Thank you so much! I want to become a film maker when I’m older so this helped a lot! 🙏
Great explanation! Thank you so much.
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!!!!
He is The master
This is extra fascinating stuff.
Film is so fascinating. I love this!
Awesome video! Love the diagram, please do more of these!!
Oh dang this is gold!!! Awesome analysis.
Awesome video !! Epic voice over incredible !! 🤯
Thank you, so much guys, I learn a lot from videos, and I am going to start,make my first short film now.
Thank you guys again.
every single one of your videos is amazing!
Great video. I wish there was more videos like this!
Was going to ask for Fincher, but i see you already did it, well done
When I watch the movie I was blown away by that particular frame 3:45, bastards you put that shot in this video!!
Awesome and educational blocking breakdown, Thanks!
excellent video and discussion on blocking. thanks
Fantastic and super helpful - thanks mate!
the minds is so smart
An amazing analysis!
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.
Thank you to the Narrator and the way he says the word “Three”. It’s sssssoooo cccoooolll sssoouuuunnndddiiinggg.
I love this series of videos very much.
this episode is well explained,Good Job StudioBinder
