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.
