The bridge, in eight shots.

SHOT 01 · WIDE 18s
28mm f/2.8 · LR3 PEARL
Establishing — the empty bridge
ACTION

Static low-angle on the bridge centerline. Wet planks recede into mist. No subject yet. Hold on the absence.

Locked-off No dialogue Ambient rain
SHOT 02 · MED 14s
35mm f/2 · HANDHELD
Vikram enters frame — back to camera
ACTION

Vikram walks into shot from foreground-left. Shoulder-first gait. We never see his face. Camera breathes with his step.

Walks toward distance Soft handheld Wet footfalls
SHOT 03 · POV 10s
50mm f/1.8 · POV
Vikram's POV — figure in the mist
ACTION

Through Vikram's eyes. Mira's silhouette emerges deep in the frame, soft-focus. Audience recognition cue. He doesn't move.

SHOT 04 · CU 20s PEAK
85mm f/1.8 · LOCKED-OFF
Mira — the recognition
ACTION · DIALOGUE

Tight on Mira. Wet hair stuck to her face. She doesn't blink. Long beat.

MIRA — "You came."
(no movement · breath visible)

Climax frame Hold 6s after line
SHOT 05 · 2-S 16s
35mm f/2 · STATIC
Two-shot — they share a frame
ACTION

Vikram foreground silhouette, sharp. Mira mid-frame, soft. The audience holds breath waiting for him to close the distance. He doesn't.

Depth-of-field play No camera move
SHOT 06 · INS 8s
85mm f/1.8 · MACRO
Insert — Mira's sari, dripping
ACTION

Tight insert: hem of Mira's sari dripping water onto the wet planks. Drop. Drop. The only sound.

Macro tight Diegetic only
SHOT 07 · CU 12s
85mm f/1.8 · LOCKED-OFF
Vikram — defeat without speech
ACTION

Tight on Vikram. Looks at the floor. Same gesture as when he tells the truth. Long beat. He closes his eyes.

No dialogue Looks at floor
SHOT 08 · WIDE 22s
28mm f/2.8 · LOCKED-OFF
Empty bridge — Vikram alone
ACTION

Same framing as Shot 01. Vikram alone now in foreground. Mira is gone. Fog returns. Cut on a slow breath.
