Rule of thirds.

The rule of thirds happens in nearly every shot. The rule of thirds is when the shot on screen is split into 6 sections. 2 vertical lines, 2 horizontal lines.
These all leave a point where they intersect, these points are where is where objects or characters are placed either in the foreground or background as it is more aesthetically pleasing for us.


This image of FIFA11 has the most important parts of the image where the thirds would be. There may not be any exact line drawn on the image, but you can roughly work out that's where everything would be. Wayne Rooney's head and the FIFA 11 logo would exactly fall on the point where the view of the audience would fall straight into the bottom left point .
This image of singer Ed Sheeran clearly shows him in the first third horizontally, the centre of his face would fall perfectly in the top left of the frame and the bottom left would be his coffee. These could show these are the more significant parts of the image. The 2 points on the right show the background and whats happening out there while the two on the left would be the foreground.
This is the cover of 007's 'Die another day'. This image is the same, the main character falls into the first third of the foreground, where the second chracter is abit behind. But still in the foreframe, but the second third. The last third is the background and the image of the car.
The top left point would be pointing at the gun, making the gun stand out more than the other objects and characters. The bottom two points are on the title 'Die Another Day.'

Media;

Hey, I'm genuinely interested and influenced by every type of media but I believe I'm more influenced by the music side of media more. This might be because I listen to music during all my spare time. I listen to a range of music, but mostly RnB or Dubstep. I believe it influenced me in many ways, from how I talk to who I inspire to be like. RnB mostly influences how I talk due to the amount of Slang words used in the lyrics. RnB can still inspire people in good ways, but also negatively due to the lyrics they use. For example Eminems lyrics in 'Shake that' glamerize getting very drunk and using girls as a tool. But lyrics can also bring out a more positive side, For example; These lyrics by Young Soul Rebels.
Other lyrics and music videos have also influenced how I feel towards the government and politics due to how real the lyrics feel, The video for Devlin's song 'Community Outcast' filmed in a estate in my local area of Dagenham, it shows how much the government affect the local area which can convince many people to rebel agaisnt the government. This is a brief blog about how Music influences me.
