The rule of thirds is all about making the film visually pleasing. In the rule of thirds there are 4 different hot spots on the screen, which as you may have guessed split the screen into thirds. On a diagram, there is a hot spot in the top right, top left, bottom right, and bottom left. In a film the top right is the main hot spot, so usually you would put the hero character in that spot. An example of this is in 'The Wild Bunch'. In this film the character Pike is always in the first hotspot.If you subvert the rule it makes the film a lot more uncomfortable to watch. Some directors do this on purpose. For example, Stanley Kubrick is one director known for doing this.
