5) Visual and sound design

• Cinematography: Alternates between static, wide surveillance-style frames and intimate handheld close-ups. Surveillance framing makes the brothers feel observed, while handheld moments put us within their perception.

• Soundscape: Diegetic sound is often muted during memory sequences, replaced by low ambient drones; diegetic intrusions (a distant siren, a clinking glass) snap the scene back into consensual reality.
• Editing: Jumps cuts, repeated micro-flashbacks, and overlapping audio create a palimpsest effect—scenes rewrite themselves as new information arrives.
