I decided to look at examples from films, which conform to rule of thirds, in order to come up with visually striking and appropriate compositions for our film that would direct viewers to significant points.
This rule refers to an imaginary grid, divided up into 9 different sections and proposes that
the strongest aspects of the composition should be placed where the points intersect. For example in shots of people, the main point of interest is typically their eyes, so adhering to the rule of thirds may mean that the eyes will be aligned with one of the intersection points. Furthermore, the rule of thirds suggests to de-centre the main subjects to achieve more interesting compositions. Examples of still shots from films show evidence of complying with the rule of thirds.

Reflecting on the rule of thirds:
The compositions formed in accordance to the rule of thirds such as the de-centring of main subjects create interesting images. In addition, the audiences' eyes are navigated to the key aspects of the frame. Therefore, the rule of thirds is important to consider for my film. However, now I am familiarised with it, it may be useful to look at cases where the rule of thirds is broken.
