Lower thirds

  • Use lower thirds only for subject identification.
  • Identify each subject just once.
  • Keep text within action/title safe zone. Never let a text go beyond the right or left edge.
  • Lower thirds can be positioned on the left or right side of the frame, depending on the subject's location.
