The Golden Mean.

The Golden Mean

            The Golden Mean was derived from the rule of thirds. Generally, said rule is associated with being a mathematical term. The reason that it has been related to film and photography projects alike is due to a grid used to determine where people or objects should be placed whilst filming.  The grid is divided into three parts (hence the rule of thirds) and the middle four connecting points are deemed the most important. The main actor can usually be seen here or key symbols in the film/photograph. While that in it of itself is interesting, the fact remains that the golden mean is also a number one comes across when taking into account other ratios.
