Rule of Thirds

 The rule of thirds is a picture depicted in to nine imaginary sections. The picture is mentally divided into thirds vote horizontally and vertically. The purpose of this method is used to make shots look compelling and well put together. It also helps the audience to view the image with emphasis on certain places. I completed an analysis of an example of the use of the rule of thirds from the film "A Star Is Born". (The photo will be shown below) The director chooses to use this technique to put emphasis on the woman’s emotions towards the man playing piano. The central idea of the first frame is the subject was playing piano. In the second frame the woman’s posture and feelings are highlighted. Finally, the third frame focuses on piano and music sheet. The audience can perceive that the man is focused and possibly disabled due to his facial expressions. His eyes are nearly shot, and he seems unaware of the woman’s feeling. While the man seems concerned and disconnected. This is apparent because she is centered in the middle of the shark the second squared in the rule of thirds. The tone and acting that are represented in this picture the most, the woman’s acting is the main take away from the entire shot in the tone she supports with her acting.
