Why it works
A near mask, enormous aperture and distant subject share the opening shot, while its measured ×1.51 push turns their relationship into a visual question before the first cut at frame 63. The film repeats practical cause then composed result across 15 shots, with the final result receiving the longest hold, 68 frames. The cuts are picture-led: only 2 of 14 coincide with the measured beat grid.
