Composition and Rule of Thirds

Rule of  Thirds

In photography and film, making the Rule of  Thirds is used to make the overall composition more pleasing to the eye. The Rule of Third is a frame that is divided into three horizontal and vertical sections where the image is placed at the intersections, for example:

The reason for not placing Lauren in the center of our framing was to make the audience confused/uneasy and uncomfortable, and having our mise-en-scene to be the most dominant in this picture, leaving the female protagonist to look vulnerable in this shot. This can also be an example of 'Surrounding Subject'.

 Diagonal Lines

Diagonal Lines are used so that the subject is placed on the diagonal line of the frame, which adds drama and action to the scene of which the audience is lead by the eyes of the character in action.

We have also used 'Diagonal Lines' in our own music video as shown in the images below:
