The frame a film like this can open on stands under the canopy: the house’s script lettering seen from below, the cathedral towers behind it in warm light. Two buildings in one picture, and the older one does not belong to the client.
That is exactly the task. A hotel by the cathedral is booked for its address, but a film that shows only the cathedral advertises the city. The lit canopy in the foreground is the answer: it stays the subject, and the cathedral becomes the reason.
The low angle costs something. It makes lines converge and turns a façade into a diagonal — in architecture that is usually a mistake, and here it is the only way to get both into one shot.
