The Rule Of Thirds (By Zoe Woodstock)


This image of a butterfly portrays the important
object perfectly using the rule of thirds concept.

During pre-production we thought it would be wise to carry out some research into the interview technique known as the 'Rule of Thirds'. This approach is a compositional guide adopted during production of visual art work such as paintings and photography. This technique consists of using two horizontal lines and two vertical lines to create nine shapes of equal size. Proponents of this technique believe that elements of high significance in the frame should be aligned along these lines or their intersections and by doing so evokes more tension, initiative and attraction for the audience. These intersections are named 'Power Points' or 'Crash Points'. An object need not be touching a power point but be near to gain advantage of the method.
The application will be essential for our interview framing helping us film a perfect interview by placing the specific compositional elements in certain areas of the frame to appeal to the audience.
