The rule of thirds is a commonly known rule relating to camera position within photography and film. As you can see from the example above, this rule uses two horizontal lines and two vertical lines to split the image into thirds. This gives a basic outline of where the focal points and horizon lines should fall.
It is my understanding that a interesting focal point will fall into one of these thirds directly, with the main components of this point falling to the left or right vertical third. The horizon line should then be shown on either the top or bottom (horizontal) third.
I took a photograph (of the one and only Luke Burton) to try and describe this rule.
The focal point (Lukes face/eyes) fit within the top right third, and the horizon fits on the bottom horizontal third.
