Sagar Rathod Explains "The Rule of Thirds" - Pt 1

In this short video Escape Studios VFX tutor Sagar Rathod explains the principles behind the "Rule of Thirds" in Previsualisation and Cinematography.  The Rule of Thirds - more a guideline than a rule - is a "rule of thumb" for composing visual images such as designs, films, paintings, and photographs.  The  guideline 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.

One of the first mini-modules our students will tackle in their first year at Escape Studios is "Photography and Composition", taught by Escape Studios' tutor and professional photographer Michael Hunter. 

 

In this mini-module, starting on 19 September 2022, students learn the fundamental principles of Photography and Composition that can be applied to all areas of animation, games and visual effects.

These fundamental skills will be applied throughout our students' years of study at Escape Studios, whatever their chosen field of specialism.
