Film production glossaryBlocking

Blocking is the work of deciding where actors stand and move during a scene, and where the camera is placed in relation to them.

One click, no account. The demo is filled with sample productions and rebuilt every day.

Blocking in practice

The director blocks the scene with the actors while the crew watches; marks are put on the floor, then the actors step away and the crew lights the set for those positions.

Where it lives in CrewDesk

Blocking happens on set, not in software. Floor plans and blocking diagrams prepared in advance can be attached to the project in CrewDesk.

CrewDesk is a working application, not a mock-up. Open it, move a project to the next stage, assign a task, and judge it on what it does.
