Music and Cinematography An earworm score propels the narrative’s highs and cushions its lows. Songs are used with purpose — to celebrate, to woo, to mourn. Cinematography favors warm tones in community scenes, clinical coolness in institutional ones, creating a visual shorthand for heart versus system. Close-ups linger on small gestures that reveal character: a shaking hand, a crooked grin, a steadying touch.
