What is the Rule of Thirds? It is a "rule of thumb" for composing visual images. The Rule of Thirds proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections. In the simplest terms, try to avoid staging your character dead centre in the middle of the screen.
Like all rules of cinematography (and film-making generally), the Rule of Thirds is just a guideline. You can break this rule (and all the rules) any time you like. But it's important to know what the rules are, so that when you do break them - you're doing it for a reason, and not by mistake.
