The Rule of Thirds

The rule of thirds is a concept in photography and film, in which the frame is divided into 9 imaginary sections. The Points of interest should fall on the crosses, or on the grid lines, either one third or two thirds up the frame horizontally, or across vertically, compared to being positioned in the center of the frame. 

This technique is used throughout film and photography and helps divide the frame up into a more interesting composition.

I will be sure to utilise this technique throughout my work this year in every shot and picture.

The examples below are from animated film "The Incedibles"
