Goals for this week's Blocking



  1. Size and placement of the characters in the scene
  2. Staging to best show the performance
  3. Choreograph the performances to work together and lead the viewers eye from one character to another during the dialogue piece
Try to have clear silhouettes in your poses. You can use poses from multiple references. The best stories have subtext ; 'What is the character saying, what is he really saying?' 
‘What should I have the character do?’ ‘How Can I best show it?’


The viewer's eye can only be in one place at once. 
Don't... have one character standing still, while the other character is talking, waiting for their turn to speak. Rather have them listening and reacting to what is being said. 'Do Nothing Excellently'. The trick is to keep it subtle. Sometimes the reaction of the secondary character is more important than the character talking.
