Standing at the original filming location, the photographer maintains a distance of about 3 meters from the model, aligns the model with a flat shot perspective, and uses the rule of thirds for composition. The model stands in the middle of the alley, occupying one-third of the frame, with the walls of the alley on both sides taking up one-third each, allowing the lines of the alley to guide the viewer's gaze and create a sense of space. It is recommended to use a 35mm lens on a camera or a 1x zoom on a smartphone, which can capture the model's movements and cover environmental details.

Posing suggestion: The model can imitate the actions of the characters in the play, maintaining a natural walk or gazing at the manhole cover, enhancing the sense of replication and storytelling atmosphere.
