Rule of thirds The rule of thirds requires that one creates a grid of two horizontal lines and two vertical lines in their head when taking a picture. Placing the main subject along one of the intersecting points or on one of the lines helps the shot look more natural and appeal to the audience. Depth of field deep focus In a deep depth of field shot, most (if not all) of the background is in focus along with the frame's subject. These types of images are sharp and clear. Deep depths of field allow audiences to notice both the subject and background, with equal focus.
