     Rule of thirds is the method of splitting the screen into thirds, both horizontally and vertically. If the main focus points of the picture are on the intersections then your photo will be more balanced.

Vertical composition is when you take a picture so that it is taller than wide.

Horizontal composition is when you take a picture that is wider than it is tall
