Why it works
Two internal cuts at frames 41 and 70 turn the opening street view into a human question before the destination is explained. Short inserts in shots 5–12 contrast with the 104-frame care shot 13, then shot 19's measured ×1.39 approach leads directly to hand contact at frame 911. The final 53-frame vehicle card lets the human payoff precede the brand line.
