I will be teaching the rule of thirds. The rule of thirds is a basic rule in video shooting. You'll use this with almost every video you shoot especially in journalism when your shooting an interview. The rule of thirds basically outlines four key points that you want your subject to line up on. The grid looks like a tic tac toe board and you want your subject to be at one of the four crossing points on the grid.
The purpose of this rule is so that your subject is never centered in the camera and it gives a more interesting view. We need this skill because it adds to the overall composition of a package. For news packages your intense audience is the people. This skill is useful in a news package during the interview.
Below I will write steps on how to achieve the rule of thirds:
1. Set up your camera on the subject.
2. Start by having your subject in the middle of the grid for reference.
3. Shift the camera to where the subject is now lined up on one of the grid points.
4. Subject should look like they are on the side of the screen at almost and angle.
5. Start shooting.
6. You're done.
