The Rule of Thirds is a guideline that visual artists use to
create visual compositions that are easy for the eye to digest.
To implement this rule in your videos, simply break the screen
into three equal rectangles from top to bottom, then into three
more from right to left. This will give you a picture broken
down into nine boxes. Using this breakdown, place the subject of
your composition somewhere along the inner lines or the points
where the lines intersect. This makes the picture more
aesthetically pleasing. If you place your subject on the outside
edges, you'll have a confusing picture; if you place it in the
dead center, you'll have a boring picture. When shooting
landscapes, choose which element you'd like to emphasize: the
sky or the land. If it's the sky, place the horizon line on or
near the line a third of the way from the bottom. If it's the
land, place the horizon at or near a third of the way from the
top. These guidelines can go a long way toward making your
videos more visually interesting.
