Why it works
The first hard cut waits until frame 442, and the 720-frame portrait in shot 4 lets expression carry suspense. A continuous boundary at frame 1494 accelerates into the action setup, while shot 9 turns an 18.48-second performance into a late product association without another cut. Only 1 of 10 cuts sits near the fitted beat, so the visual reveal leads the rhythm.
