Rule Of Thirds

The rule of thirds is when you split an image into nine pieces horizontally and vertically, this gives you four golden points, in which you can put the most important things in an image.

In this image is you can see two men in the foreground and a woman in the background looking at one of the men. In this image, an over the shoulder shot of the two men is used this is so the viewer can see who is participating in the conversation, and also so they can know who the woman is looking at. The woman is also in three of the golden points of the image, this is so that the audience can focus on her rather than the two men.

In this image, there is a butterfly on a plant. The shot that is used here is a close up shot of the butterfly. This is so that the viewer can look at it in detail. The butterfly is also in three of the golden points of this image, this is so that the viewer can focus on it more rather than the plant or the background.

In this image is a photographer taking a picture of a married couple. In the foreground is the photographer, and he is shown in a medium long shot. Whilst in the background is the married couple, who are shown in a full body shot. This is as the viewer is supposed to be focusing on the couple more than the photgrapher. In two of the golden points are the married couple, and the photographer and his camera are in the other two golden points. This is so that the viewer can understand what is going on in the image, and so that the most important things are captured.
