The Golden Mean


The Golden Mean, also known as the Golden Ratio, is a mathematic equation. In film, it means the audience’s eye focuses on the left and right more. That’s why in many films, it is used to be more appealing. The Golden Mean originated from the ancient Greeks because it appeared often in geometry. It was explored and explained in a book called “De divina proportione” by Luca Pacioli, which came out in 1509. The first known estimate of the golden ratio was 0.6180340; it was written in 1597 by Michael Maestlin. That is the origin of the Golden Mean/ Ratio.
