A term with multiple and conflicting industry usage. 1) May be used to express the inability to connect a single input of a switching array to multiple outputs simultaneously without any input loading or mismatches. If multiple outputs are connected to a given input, proportional input loading will occur. 2) In multi-stage switching arrays (tri-stage or 3-stage), it refers to the possibility that the user may not be able to route an input to an output at all times (blocking due to unavailable middle stages). See Non-Blocking. It is possible that even if blocking occurs, the switching array may be able to be reinitialized in a logical order to avoid the blocking conditions.

Arranging where the lights will go and how they will hit the talent before shooting gets underway. Commonly done before the scene with the stand-ins and lighting crew in preparation for the actors.

Blocking or denial is a term used in theatrical improvisation (or improv) and theatre sports to designate an actor who does not accept the dramatic world set up by other actors and declines 'offers' made by an actor to come into that dramatic imaginary world.
In animation, more commonly in 3D computer animation, blocking refers to the creation of key poses to establish timing and placement of characters and props in a given scene or shot. Blocking is commonly the first step in the pose-to-pose style of animating, as opposed to the straight-ahead style of animation (though blocking sometimes plays a role in straight-ahead as well.) Blocking poses are not necessarily exclusively keyframes.
