Editing Style for Episode 2
 Transitions: Cross-dissolves for reflective moments; hard cuts for near-misses and suspense.
 Color Palette: Warm for familial scenes, neutral tones for suspense or tension.
 Camera Work: Use tracking shots to emphasize movement and parallel lives. Over-the-
shoulder angles during conversations for depth and intimacy.
 Music: Quirky tunes for Koti’s scenes; ambient strings for emotional moments; subdued
suspense tones during Keerthi-Prasad near encounters.
