Rule of Thirds

The Rule of Thirds is a concept in which the shot is divided


into nine sections, which acts as a guide to filmmakers on
where to position objects/characters within the shot. (As seen
to the left).
When there is one main character in a shot they are normally
placed in the middle of the frame with their eyes being
centred on the top horizontal line.
This is important as it helps to centre the characters
correctly and place emphasis on specific people. The Rule of
Thirds helps the audience decide who/what to focus on.
