Rule of thirds

The rule of thirds is a concept in video and film production, in which the frame is divided into 9 imaginary sections. The Points of interest should lie on the grid lines, either one third or two thirds up the frame horizontally, or across vertically, compared to being positioned in the centre of the frame. 

The Rule of Thirds
This technique is used throughout film and helps divide the frame up into a more interesting composition compared to ones which don't and look weird but until you know this rule you can't figure out why. To get an example of this technique I used in one of my YouTube videos when my actor was holding the sniper so that the audience would take in both the gun and my actor.

  1. Not bad: still quite a few gaps, especially for January work and the continuity tasks. Drive your group Katy and get these projects moving; you MUST come in during free periods to drive the coursework if you are to meet the deadlines
