In Sargent's Chapter XXXV (1916), what is a 'bust' as distinct from a close-up and an insert, what jobs does he give it, and how is it written?
1916 practice (Sargent): a bust is a detailed exposure of one small action, not taking in much of the figure. He gives five jobs (emphasise an unnoticed act; show what is too small; show a minute act; cut away so a trick can be handled; break tension and plant an object) and rules: return to the larger scene after it, use sparingly, write inanimate objects as inserts and any action as a bust. He admits studios blur bust, close-up and insert. Footage hint: some busts last two or three seconds.

Curator qualifications: Footage and bust rules are verified as Sargent's text. The foot-equals-second conversion follows from his 16 frames a second and 16 frames to the foot (curator check). Arithmetic rows are worker code (work/build.py), not run by the curator.
Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
