- Selective focus pulling viewer through the scene
- Scale-appropriate litter, signage, and props

**3. Cutaway / Cross-Section**
- Building sliced to show interior rooms
- Each room fully furnished and lit
- Different activities in each space
- Wiring and structural elements visible
- Museum-display-quality presentation

**4. Seasonal / Weather Variation**
- Same scene in a specific season or weather condition
- Snow accumulation, rain puddles, autumn leaves, spring blossoms
- Appropriate lighting for time of day
- Weather effects (fog, steam, frost on windows)
- Seasonal props and decorations

**5. Work-in-Progress / Behind the Scenes**
- Miniature partially complete
- Tools, paint pots, and brushes around the edge
