Blocking a Scene P.1

What is crafting the performance in the edit? How does he do this with the first cut of the scene? What is "business?" How does this help the scene?

Crafting the performance in the edit requires careful consideration of the camera angle, camera settings, and blocking. The use of or the lack of motion can create different emotions. The first cut used the least motion and only used simple cuts between characters who barely moved. For simple cuts, the editing becomes more important. The close up, for example, can create tension that is not present in the acting. However, simple relying on editing wastes talented actors. Business is referred to what an actor should be doing when they are not delivering dialogue. Business adds a secondary objective for the actors to interact with while they are not speaking.
