The shot includes the screen displaying the image of the former residence, the model in the display case, and the edges of the doors, enhancing the depth and fully presenting the entire exhibit.

Use a frame-within-a-frame composition, with an arch as the foreground frame, to center the red "good fortune" character wall in the middle of the shot. A straight-on shooting angle ensures the arch is fully symmetrical, while the background includes gray brick walls and stone pathways to add depth to the environment. It's recommended to use a standard focal length lens to emphasize the layers between the subject and the frame.
