One more little thing before we move on, I want to quickly introduce a pretty simple concept that is related to how we compose an image in our frame, the rule of thirds is like so take a look at this frame. For example. This rule states that while shooting an image, we should compose our subject two thirds into the frame. This applies to all sides of the frame. You don't want to place your subject in the very center of the frame, and you don't want to be too high or too low. And using the rule of thirds, we're actually creating a logical talking, walking and action space, giving us more option later in the editing process.

Remember the lecture about film history and dw Griffith? When we create a scene with a dialogue will most likely cut between the characters and these cuts must maintain logical talking space and correct eyeline. Though initially developed for still photography, in film and video the rule of thirds is not only a static rule it also helps us maintain logical continuity. Like many rules, the rule of thirds was also meant to be broken at times. One of the most successful and well known filmmakers, Wes Anderson, who you might remember from films like The Grand Budapest Hotel and others, is known for centering his main object in many of his shots. For the most part, however, this tool provides a basic guide for composing a successful frame.

Next up, we're going to go into a forgotten but extremely significant part of your video making future sound so stay tuned.
