Rule of Thirds

Rule of thirds is a 3 by 3, squared grid in which shots on video cameras are set up. The rules are that eye level must be around the the second horizontal line, giving enough head space for a close up shot if necessary. The action is usually set up where the 2 lines meet, there are 4 point where this can happen and is usually the corners of the center square . There must also be a colour background which captures depth and realism within the shot.
