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.
