Jack:
Jack can seem to be too bossy in his role as a leader. He orders people around which soon (inevitably) evolves into conflict to carry the story forward. From a flashback, we find that Jack's father discouraged Jack from his seemingly natural leadership qualities, by putting him down. Jack soon starts striking out as he cannot handle the pressure the other crash victims put on him. They want him to guide them most of the time, but when a situation is inconveniant for them, they don't want Jack to lead them.
We also find that Jack and his father had a very difficult relationship which resulted in them not speaking to each other in months, and the death of Jack's father from alcohol poisoning.
Jack allows Sayid to toture Sawyer, which Jack is both for and against. This and the things listed above show that Jack is not the all round good guy that the LOST pilot had seemingly been building up to.

LOST - Episode 1
Jack:
Jack is the protagonist as the viewers followed him throughtout the episode.
I found that he is a selfless, heroic man as he rescued alot of plane crash victims, putting his own life in danger. He is also 'level-headed,' and tells us an example of this - he operated on a girl, the procedure went wrong but he managed to keep calm by counting to 5 (this counting seems to be significant as it is used in other parts of the episode), and fixed the girl. Jack tells this story while getting a wound stitched up without anasthetic, signifying the typical bravery which comes along with a story's hero.
Jack shows leadership qualities in the LOST episode by giving other people instructions and initiating a search for the other half of the crashed plane, so they can potentially call for help.
He is represented as angelic; dressed in a white shirt which represents 'good,' so I figure that Jack will probably stay 'good' throughout the whole film. Being the protagonist and showing heroic qualities also affects this assumption.

How the Rule of Thirds is Applied:
Consider the Rule of Thirds as a Guidline only. If you use it all of the time, it is hard to keep your images creative.
The rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guide lines and their intersection points, placing the horizon on the top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to section.
To Get the Perfect Grid: Divide the length of the image or picture frame into eight parts, and at the fifth mark from the left, draw a line from top to bottom. Count five parts, starting from the opposite side, and do the same thing. Draw two lines in the same manner from the width of the frame, and the end result is figure 1 as shown.
It's difficult to visually divide the viewfinder into eight equal parts. Therefore, it's easier to use the Rule of Thirds, which divides the viewfinder into three sections, both horizontally and vertically. As you can see from Figure 2 (at right), the Golden Mean is a tighter grouping than the Rule of Thirds. Both methods use the power point concept for placing the main subject(s).
Note that when photographing people, it is common to line the body up with a vertical line, and have the person's eyes in line with a horizontal one, therefore use the Rule of Thirds to help you get a better placed picture.
