Once again, I had to refilm some shots as the rule of thirds was broken unintentionally. The rule of thirds is important otherwise the audience won't know where to look or focus on in the movie, as their attention is more likely to be gazed in on of the 4 intersections. If there is nothing going on in them, a film might seem boring.
To fill in this absence on screen, I recorded scenes with the protagonist's face in one of the points, and I tried to film from further away to include something in the background to make it more satisfying. During the close ups in the testing scene, I included the computer screen in a different point, so that it is clear to what the audience should be focused on.
I also incorporated this in the opening scene, having key traits of each location in one of these points. For example, in the very first shot, the tree the homeless man sits by is in the top right point of the quadrant, so that in the future scene, the tree will be familiar to the audience.
