Staging refers to what is also called 'mise en scène' and is what the metteur en scène, or director, does, and includes the colour and sound (and not the music he's playing over that). Not sure why he chose that particular film, or thinks anyone would want to watch the whole thing that way.
Most introductions to cinema will do a better job of explaining it than that video does.
