Why it works
A direct accusation begins at frame 0 over a wired face, then frame 64 reveals the machine that received it. Shot 8 grows the swarm's moving region by ×5.01 against a nearly static landscape, turning a spoken warning into visible scale. The long continuous shot 19 delays the moral reversal until shots 20–21, before the title begins at frame 1577 and fades from about frame 1671.
