Why it works
A locked street-wide lets the vehicle create the opening motion before the first cut at frame 73. The bright doorway gives way to the dark consequence at frame 347; four hard cuts inside shot 9 make the social cost feel prolonged before the product price in shot 12 and the dry advice in shot 13.
