Why it works
A lone refusal on black grows into a phrase at about 1.5 s while the first product contour remains partial. Six measured internal picture cuts keep the two long opening shots active; shots 3–9 then accelerate through brief details before the whole product appears in shot 10 at frame 736 and the identity card cuts in at frame 854.
