This past week I was sick with the flu and could hardly leave my bed for about two days. During which I watched a lot of netflix, particularly the show Parks and Rec. While watching I couldn’t help but notice the use of thirds. Often when two characters were conversing the camera would show one’s shoulder and back of their head and the other character’s face, who usually talking, would be right on the third line. I never really realized this while watching any show. But now that I am aware of the use of thirds I see it every where in just about every show I’ve seen recently. This technique does make the layout of the scene and the characters very clear.
