Why it works
Shot 1 holds the distant subject for 65 frames before the overhead reveal, turning scale into a question. The measured median is 1.00 s across 73 shots, but shot 14's long moving ignition view and shot 73's 148-frame resolution create contrast. Only 21 of 72 cuts land near a beat, so the footage and action carry the edit.
