Haigh's trademark is his exquisite blocking. When we spoke to him about Lean on Pete, he told us, "Blocking is everything." Haigh told us that he starts thinking about blocking as early as the script stage: " I draw a little diagram, sometimes, to try and work out how someone might be doing something. It’s almost how my brain works. I’m not very technical. In a big, complicated scene, if I was going to cover it from a bunch of different angles, it would probably be a disaster. Even though I’ve edited in the past, I’d be like, “I don’t know!” For Haigh, the goal of blocking "at every point, is to reveal something that feels truthful about the character. The way the character moves around someone else, turns their back on someone else, or does something else in order to stop thinking about what they should be thinking about, or whatever it is, is so important."
