Rule of Thirds
► The grid assists the designer and
cinematographer in visualising the overall
potential of the height, width, and depth of
any cinematic space.
► The lines will almost invariably intersect
those areas of interest within the frame to
which the designer and cinematographer
wish to draw the audiences attention.
