Scale as an agreement
Look for a door, vehicle or figure that lets you estimate the proportions. Then compare two scenes and see whether they maintain the same scale consistently.
A story in a detail
A miniature world often tells its story through small actions. Choose one figure at the edge and deduce what is happening only from visible objects, without inventing a complete backstory.
Light and viewpoint
Lighting can suggest day, night or depth. Crouch down and look at the same scene at a figure’s eye level to notice how the composition changes.
