SYNOPSIS: In a flat and ironic tone, the story of the demise of an old era is told in an grand hotel, behind the interesting story of a world falling apart, unable to escape war. The characters in the story act as heroic rebels, unafraid to fight against reality, but ultimately trampled by greed and power.
Film themes and identify significant scenes
Theme, visual content:
①The difference between low saturation and high saturation, as different color saturation and brightness symbolise different atmospheres, is important for the story.
Exploring the hue, saturation, and value(brightness).

The key words of The grand budapest hotel : War, Exposing of human nature (jealousy and hatred), boom and bust, the times, freedom and independence.

WEEK 10 AXONOMETRIC DRAWING
For the Axonometric drawing, I separated the roof from the walls, added the floor textures and marked the important parts of the scene, that is Boy with Apple, lighting, atmosphere.
I set up two different layers to distinguishing between different line widths, we can see a relatively thicker external part and a thinner internal texture.
CAMERA SET OF 3D MODELLING (PERSPECTIVE)
I pulled the lens closer, the camera lens is 15.0, so I could see more of the internal structure through this angle.
