Blocking is the precise staging of actors in a performance, and it is where actors are placed in a frame. The Purpose of Blocking is to tell the story by staging the characters' actions to mirror the subtext of what is happening on screen. The example I got was from a spiderman film. The picture can be seen down below. The genre of the frame is action. The narrative being created in the frame is a young woman who is obviously terrified by the superhero jumping off of a bridge with her into the air. The superhero is painted as fearless. The emotion being connected is excitement. The camera work I used to create a story was setting, acting, and camera angle. The setting denotes that they are obviously in a high place midair. The connotation derived from this could be the feeling of frisson. The acting highlights the character’s mood, the face she is making shows that she is scared. Finally, the camera angles the picture is taken from also puts emphasis on the characters falling.
