Why it works
The product is named immediately over a moving park scene, while the first hard cut waits until frame 66 and the first narration is delayed. Shot 9 holds a 705-frame measured span for imagined worlds to accumulate around a recurring person. Shot 15 then withdraws toward a city-wide view, with the measured late segment shrinking to ×0.20 before sparse closing text.
