For some, understanding the mechanics of filmmaking completely takes them out of the immersion. For others, it deepens it. I am definitely of the latter camp, so I appreciated this little tutorial on StudioBinder about staging and blocking.
To show how such a dance between the actors and the camera adds to a film's overall impact, they break down scenes from Spielberg's Minority Report, Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange, and Inarritu's Birdman.
