The first Indiana Jones movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, isn’t just a great movie. It’s a brilliantly directed one. Steven Spielberg’s skill at blocking and stages scenes is second to none. Today we’ll take a look at some of the ways Spielberg implements blocking and staging using the same method that director Steven Soderbergh uses to analyze films: making the movie black and white, and taking away all of its score and dialogue… allowing us to focus only on the film’s visual storytelling.
