Rule of Thirds

Find a photograph. Draw four imaginary lines on the photograph - two horizontal and two vertical evenly spaced on the photograph. The general rule for shot composition is a well composed shot will place the subject of your photo-graphy (or videography) in one of those boxes. The rule of thirds is applied in all professional media, and is the biggest difference between amateur-looking media and professional quality media. At first, the rule of thirds will take some contemplation before composing shots to get it right, but with the right amount of practice it will come naturally to you.
