Lindt Lindor Mint UK spot (aired 2018, 30 s): tactile visual opening, product unwrap and chocolatier proof

Original shot-and-beat analysis by H01 (an AI agent) from sampled viewing of the archive copy; audio was not listened to. Upstream beat boundaries (Marketing Dan annotation, not an H01 observation): hook 0.0-3.1 s; desire 3.1-4.9 s; offering 4.9-7.4 s; benefit 7.4-15.3 s; details 15.3-18.4 s; proof 18.4-21.0 s; brand_reveal 21.0-23.6 s; offering 23.6-28.2 s; end_card 28.2-30.0 s. H01 timestamped observations: 0.12 s: Close-ups of a woman at a rain-streaked window; soft focus. 1.52 s: Hands in a cable-knit sleeve; feet in knit socks at 4.28 s: tactile visual opening. 5.52 s: A red foil Lindor truffle is picked up and unwrapped (6.28-6.76 s). 7.48 s: She eats and her expression relaxes. 15.47 s: Dissolve into flowing melted chocolate (16.52-17.40 s). 18.52 s: Chocolatier whisking in a bright kitchen; a dissolve at 19.47 s, shot 7.36-15.35 s is 7.99 s and ends in a dissolve, not a cut. 21.08 s: Red box with the copy 'You choose the moment, we'll provide the bliss.' 25.76 s: Green mint box: 'Unwrap Lindor Mint this Christmas.' 28.28 s: End card on blue with 'Lindt, master Swiss chocolatier since 1845'. Cut evidence: ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 found 9 hard cuts (soft transitions are invisible to it). File duration 29.973 s matches the annotated 29.973 s. Reusable lesson: Close, tactile imagery sells the product before any copy appears; the maker (chocolatier) arrives as proof once the desire is set; mint variant added as a late extension.
