Rules of Composition

 Rule Of Thirds:

Rule of Thirds is a guideline followed in order to attain a cinematically pleasing shot, or picture. It refers to a 9 sectioned grid, and according to the Rule of Thirds, the subject should be placed either on the right or left vertical line of the grid, leaving the other two thirds of the image more open. In landscapes, for example, 2 portions can be given to the sky, and one to the sea or land.

After discussing the Rule of Thirds in class, we went outside and practiced it around school.

We also discussed other rules. 

Nose room, or leading room is the space in the direction that the subject is facing. This makes the picture appear well composed.

Although Center of frame is usually avoided, as it appears cliché, and hence rule of thirds was exercised and followed, sometimes, subject is placed in center of frame to indicate authority. 

Headroom is the distance between the subject's head and the top of the frame. To create a cinematic, well composed shot, the head room should be less and appropriate.
