Merle Norman (1994, 30 s): host talks over close beauty macros and a counter scene

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 0.0-3.4 s; demonstration 3.4-8.6 s; demonstration 8.6-15.8 s; proof 15.8-21.5 s; benefit 21.5-25.6 s; offer 25.6-30.7 s. H01 timestamped observations: 1.71 s: Host in a blue shirt on a chair in a warm study. 3.54 s: Eye close-up with a pencil. 7.51 s: Lip close-up with a lip pencil. 12.05 s: Cheek with a jar of cream. 15.95 s: Make-up counter with an assistant helping a customer. 24.03 s: Portrait of the finished look. 28.15 s: Product tube and 'The Place For The Beautiful Face' card. Cut evidence: ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 found 8 hard cuts (soft transitions are invisible to it). File duration 30.697 s matches the annotated 30.697 s. Reusable lesson: A host frames macro beauty shots; the counter scene delivers the service; slogan on the end card.
