Why it works
Nine cuts in the first ten seconds make the social failure immediate, while shot 22 waits until 23.23 s to name the problem. The focus pulls at frames 651, 675 and 823 make the earnest product pivot feel like a reveal; the 15.27 s scenario run in shot 52 contrasts with the rapid callback cuts in shots 53–67.
