Rule of thirds

Introduction: In thing blog post i am going to explain what the rule of thirds is and what part it plays in film. I will then experiment myself using my own camera and start gaining an even great understanding.


What is the rule of thirds?:  The rule of thirds is a concept in film and video which plots the frame into 9 sections as displayed to the right. This create reference points which more or less
acts as guides for getting the right frame for an image. Two vertically spaced lines
and two horizontally spaced lines which creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than normally centering the subject would.

I have taken this video from YouTube as it explains perfectly why the rule of thirds is so important when taking stills and filming.
