The photographer stands on the opposite bank of the Jinshui River, slightly to the left, using a flat shooting angle. Employing the rule of thirds composition, the Tiananmen Gate Tower is positioned on the left side of the frame, with the water surface and stone bridge of the Jinshui River included on the right to balance the elements on both sides. The scene should include a blue sky background, the foreground of the Jinshui River, and the full view of the red-walled gate tower, highlighting the harmony between architecture and water scenery. Shooting time: It is recommended to shoot during clear weather when the sunlight is good.

The photographer is positioned at the front side of the "1945" installation, capturing the scene from a level perspective. Using the rule of thirds, the "1945" installation occupies the left one-third of the frame, while the Great Hall of the People and the red flags above occupy the right two-thirds of the frame. A standard lens is used to accurately represent the scale of the scene, showing the spatial relationship between the "1945" installation and the Great Hall of the People, balancing the two with the rule of thirds to convey a solemn atmosphere. Additional suggestions: ① Remove all electronic devices in advance; ② Keep paper documents separate (they will be checked thoroughly); ③ Open water bottles in advance.

The photographer adopts a bird's-eye view, with the model positioned slightly to the left in the center of the frame, holding a small national flag and making a "V" gesture with a natural and lively pose, leaning slightly backward. Using the rule of thirds, the composition includes a flower bed and a "Tiananmen City Tower" sign at the top to highlight the theme of the scene, ensuring that the main character and background elements are clear, and maintaining the details of the ground steps to add depth to the image. Shooting time: It is recommended to shoot during clear weather and when the sunlight is good.
