Rule of Thirds

What is the "Rule of Thirds?" How is it used in video production? How should you compose your subjects in the future in the frame? Why?

The "Rule of Thirds" is a general composition rule that divides the shot into nine equal parts by using horizontal and vertical lines. This rule emphasizes the importance of placing a subject in one of the intersections of the lines or the lines themselves. I will make sure to keep the rule of thirds in mind so my shots are not awkwardly symmetrical. This technique can create an interesting shot that is pleasing to the eye, and focuses the attention of the audience to the subject placed on the rule of thirds. The rule of thirds is an easy guideline for amateur filmmakers to create interesting composition.
