THE 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 is to split your screen into nine equal parts, just like you wold with photography or paintings. You must line up your subject where these lines intersect. If you wish to shoot a horizon then one of these lines should line up parallel with it. This rule is used so the viewer won't feel awkward watching someone right in the center of their screen. Knowing this rule I now know that it's always a good idea to line up my subject on the intersecting points.
