Why it works
The 0:00 battlefield illustration opens in action while narration withholds the specific subject until about 0:27. Maps gain new markers and overlays throughout long holds, creating about 20 picture changes per minute despite only 7.5 certain cuts per minute. The 5:30–6:00 street-level escalation shortens the cuts, and 5:33–5:44 is a replay peak.
