Describe the rule of thirds and make a 5 seconds film that demonstrates this rule visually. Upload your video and comments.
The rule of thirds is a method of placing your main object within a frame, so as to guide the viewer`s attention towards it, focusing on the key aspect within the picture. This can be achieved by placing that specific point you would most like to enphasise at the point where a vertical and horizontal line of your grid intersect (top left/right, bottom left/right).
This rule proves to be most useful probably in shots that involve an outdoor scene, with several characters that may have different motivations. By using the rule of thirds in a scene shot in a crowded street for instance, the viewer`s attention can be drawn towards the main character(s) in that shot, thus avoiding confusion.
What I tried to achieve in my shot was to direct the attention towards the character`s facial expressions (anxiety, but also annoyance and impatience) and body language (slightly shifting her position in the frame to suggest impatience and looking insistently in a certain direction). which would further give clues about the situation.

I can recognise Lala:-D
Suggestion - The rule of thirds can be broken and like you say to have a "unsettled effect" but here you end up composing the image "comfortably" in the rule of thirds when she is showing impatience. If you had made this movement the other way around i.e. well composed in the top third and then shifting away from it this could demonstrate increasing impatience.
