Editing The movement of camera shots are very natural in this scene. Mostly it moves from one character to another showing their communication and conversations. The shots are slow and extensive. We can hear non-diagetic sound in the background, which is soft violin melody. Making meaning from non-diagetic sound, it means hope and feels like they all are save and nothing bad going to happen.
