Which statement best describes the Rule of Thirds?

• A. A hard rule for color grading
• B. Video divided into nine equal parts
• C. A rule for frame rate
• D. A rule for microphone placement

Answer: (B)

Rule of Thirds is a guiding principle for composing a shot. It uses a grid that splits the frame into nine equal parts with two vertical and two horizontal lines. By placing key elements along those lines or at their intersections, the image feels more balanced and visually engaging than if everything is centered. The statement describing the video frame being divided into nine equal parts directly captures how the grid works and why it helps with placement and balance. The other topics—color grading, frame rate, and microphone placement—belong to different aspects of production and aren’t about how a frame is organized visually.
