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.
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.
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.

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.
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 :)

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.

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.
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.
that opening sequence combined with the music was chilling

in technical aspects, angles, camera movements, visual quality overall, use of music, Kubrick 50 years ago was so ahead of anyone else even today...its not even comparable
Paul Thomas Anderson's Punch Drunk Love. You should watch it if you haven't already! Here's a cool PTA article from our blog: www.studiobinder.com/blog/paul-thomas-anderson-movies/ Cheers!
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
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!!!!
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 ! 👌

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.

Thats why Spielberg is so special and masterful, he makes you feel the story, not making you notice the technique. You cant say the same about Cuaron or Scorsese and those continious shots.
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.

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.

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 .
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.
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!
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

I know it's late but good luck on ya journey, my brother. Stay strong and things will happen, trust me.
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
Kubrick was way ahead of his time and from another planet, what a legend
Im in love with the voice of the narrator
Always admire the use of leading lines in photography. Kubrick is genius. Brilliant composition by Inaritu
Kubrick is a genius. There isn't much else to add.
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!

MUNICH is another masterful film. The blocking in that film is stunning.
A video deconstructing Andrei Tarkovsky or Bergman’ styles please!!!
I’d love to see this
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.
Another invaluable piece of cinema info! Thank you
