5(a). The still from sinners show uses “The Rule of Thirds” to suggest the plot to be leaving the audience thinking about something bad that was to happen next. This is all being shown by the audience is not able to see what they're seeing, the body placements of the characters, how close they are to each other. You can already tell something good is not happening based of their face but also the tugging on the boy shirt shows he was telling the boy something was about to happen and be ready for it. The background falls on the upper part of the thirds. The vertical and horizontal intersections do not align with their face specifically their eyes, but it does for the boy's chin on the right.

5(b) The image from question 4(b) tells the desired story of two action figures the action figure on the left looks dangerous and the action figure on the right look extremely afraid of the action figure on the left. The photo shows the eyes and landscape aligned according to the rule and figures with neutral spacing. The top vertical lines are both on the left action figure eyes and the background is in the two top thirds of the photo. The spacing in between them shows the action figure on the left could be bullying the one on the right. The positions of their bodies show there are many complications between the two as you can see the action figure on the left seems to be powerful and above the action figure on the left who looks small, short, and powerless. They're facial expressions shows the action figure on the right is scared and confused but the other action figure facial expressions shows that it is angry and yelling at the other figure.
