Blocking

For the first shoot we kept the blocking to a basic minimum and for the second shoot we used character movement and action.

What were you testing?

We were testing to see how much of an improvement blocking made to a scene.

What are you trying to achieve?

By doing so we hoped that it would give us a better insight into how the final scene would look if we used blocking.

Plan the scene 

We thought of a scene and had a rough idea of the script. The idea revolves around two men accusing another man of stealing money. That was the basic plot of the script but other than that it was all improvised.

Shoot

We shot each scene twice through and I uploaded the best version of each one. Although this was a practice for a single camera drama shoot, we used two cameras to see which angle looked best.

Evaluating 

I feel as though blocking makes a huge difference to the scene as an overall and adds a lot of emotion to the scene.
