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.'
