Rule of Thirds still in film
This image is from the Avengers and clearly shows Thor lined up on the right vertical and reaching for his hammer beyond the left vertical.
Environmental photos without/with Rule of Thirds
Shot of a lake with camping equipment up top.
This shot does not show rule of thirds. Nothing is aligned on the vertical and horizontal lines.
Shot of a waterfall and mountain
This picture though, has the waterfalls lined up on the left vertical. The right vertical shows the ascend to the top of the mountain.
Rule of Thirds with Figures
One Figure (Don't know why the camera gave them different sizes)
This shot is not in tune with the rule of thirds. The figure is not aligned at all.
In this shot though, the figure is lined up on the right vertical. This shows how they would be looking at something on or past the left vertical.
Rule of Thirds with Two Figures
Stormtrooper figure walking unbeknownst to the other Lego figure
In this picture, both figures are not aligned properly. they do not even acknowledge each other.
This shot, shows neutrality. This is because each figure is lined up on a vertical. They do not walk inside the lines.
In this shot, the figures have crossed the vertical lines. This shows attraction.
Other figure attacks stormtrooper with a hammer
This shot clearly shows conflict. The other figure has stepped out of his vertical line and into the stormtroopers zone. This would show either conflict or attraction/attempted move but this time it was conflict.
Rule of Thirds in first Thor photo
A) The still has shown many obvious parts of the rule of thirds. The still shows us Thor reaching out to his trusty hammer, Mjolnir. This still includes 2 main objects. One being that Thor is lined up on the right vertical line while reaching out to the left. Second is The Mjolnir, which is beyond the left line. This setting shows danger. It would show that Thor needs the hammer now and is reaching to get it. This could be the cause of a fight or upcoming fight. Therefore, it foreshadows the eventual use of the Mjolnir in battle.
B) The desired story is clearly told by this image. First off the Mise en Scene shows that Thor and his hammer are almost always a two in one. You will never see Thor without it. This would weigh into the marvel narrative. The shot with both of them shows a neat play in editing and narrative too. Thor's constant being with the hammer shows up as a recurring motif, which truly shows the power that he wields. The shot itself is positioned under Thor's knees. Most of the actual Mjolnir hammer is not even seen. This could be shown to create suspense. Until he pulls the hammer up of course. This shot conveys the potential power Thor could have with his hammer. But, the hammer being below him in the shot shows that Thor is far more important than his hammer. And without Thor, the hammer is useless as no one besides him can lift it (besides Captain America).
