I love these cocky people on here talking about "rule of thirds doesn't matter"... I had these same fools in film school, who thought they knew more than our professors. Those same people couldn't do the most basic framing, jump cuts everywhere, horrible negative space, etc. Of course, they always thought it their bad grades were 'unfair'. Impossible to learn when the glass is full, the water just runs over. This video is SPOT ON. It should be natural but if it's not, this is a good guide.

@benjamindbailey If you had a problem understanding him -- It's probably due to your poor English skills.

Let's just put this stupid debate to rest. The rule of thirds is a good thing to know, but even this guy says it is not necessary to follow it. In relation to music, listen to John Frusciante's guitar playing. He often plays outside the lines, defying 16th notes. It's just a different perspective. On By the Way, for instance, he played mostly on time. Weird comparison, yes, but it's valid.

THE RULE OF THIRDS doesnt mean anything... there are like 90 different other types you can use
