Composition Rules

In film there are composition rules, the rule of thirds is one of them. Imagine that what you are shooting is a frame and inside that frame imaginary lines are drawn dividing the image into thirds both horizontally and vertically. You place important parts of what your shooting where these lines meet, also called 'hot spots'

By using the Rule of Thirds it can help make what your shooting nicely balanced and easy on the eye. However the rule of thirds is not strictly compulsory and does not always have to be followed. If you can make what is in the frame look better by not using the rule of thirds then don't.
