RULE OF THIRDS, FRAMING AND
SYMMETRICAL BALANCE
 Example

WHAT IS THE RULE OF

THIRDS?
THE RULE OF THIRDS IS WHERE IT GUIDES YOU TO MAKE THE
PERFECT PHOTO AND MAKE IT DIFFERENT TO WHAT THE PHOTO
WAS BEFORE.

IF YOU WANT TO USE THE GRID ON YOUR PHONE THIS IS WHAT IT

WILL LOOK LIKE ON YOUR PHONE TO USE IT ON OBJECTS, NATURE
OR BUILDINGS.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO USE THE RULE OF
THIRDS?
THE REASON WHY THE RULE OF THIRDS IS IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE IT IS TO HELP DIRECT THE
VIEWER TO HELP IMPROVE THEIR PHOTOGRAPHY SKILLS AND GAZE THEIR PERCEPTION ON HOW
THE DIFFERENT PHOTO CAN BE LAYERED OUT.
WHAT IS FRAMING?

FRAMING IS WHERE YOU SELECT AN

ASPECT OF NATURE, BUILDINGS OR
OBJECTS TO MAKE THEM MORE SALIENT
AND A BETTER PHOTO CAPTION. TO
ALSO COMMUNICATE THE MEANING
BEHIND THE MEANING OF THESE PHOTO
YOU TOOK.
 WHAT IS SYMMETRICAL BALANCE AND
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
SYMMETRICAL BALANCE IS TO VISUAL THE ELEMENTS OF
ARRANGEMENT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE LINE ON AN
EQUAL WEIGHT. IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A PHOTO USING
A SYMMETRICAL BALANCE THEY HAVE TO BE BOTH
EQUAL.

IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE VIEWERS BECAUSE THE PHOTO

THEY TAKE USING THAT COULD LEAD TO THE PHOTO
HAVING MORE SPACE SO YOU CAN SEE IT CLEARLY.

Example

RULES OF COMPOSITION IN FILM IS A PHRASE WHERE IT REFERS TO AN ELEMENT OF A SCENE

THAT ARE ARRANGED IN A CAMERA FRAME OR A LENSE. IT’S THE ARRANGEMENT OF VISUAL
ELEMENTS TO CONVEY AN INTENDED MESSAGE.

 CAPCUT VIDEO- FRESHER FAIR

https://youtu.be/Y4G18BFgiGw?si=yxkaDuk76BLif-hv
This is a video I did on Capcut for the fresher fair. I tried to make it look cool by adding some sound effects and also some
gifs that people will know from shows they might of watched. And I also added some pictures of around the Chelmsford
college and the courses you might do if you are interested in them.
