IHOP Breakfast Special (1994, 30 s): a couple's close-ups and food inserts to a price card

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 0.0-3.2 s; problem 3.2-4.7 s; offering 4.7-9.6 s; benefit 9.6-13.7 s; desire 13.7-21.1 s; transition 21.1-25.1 s; offer 25.1-28.0 s; end_card 28.0-30.0 s. H01 timestamped observations: 0.12 s: Silhouetted couple at a window table. 1.08 s: Couple at the table with a restaurant sign on it. 2.29 s: Orange juice glasses. 3.32 s: Woman in close-up. 4.83 s: Man in close-up. 7.49 s: Pancakes with strawberry topping. 8.34 s: Two fried eggs. 9.02 s: Bacon strips. 13.87 s: Woman resting her chin on her hand. 21.21 s: Wide of the couple at the table again. 27.55 s: Price card 'Truly Special Breakfast Special $2.99' with the logo. Cut evidence: ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 found 14 transitions (a detector count, not a visual verdict; soft transitions are largely invisible to it). File duration 30.047 s matches the annotated 30.047 s. Reusable lesson: Alternating reaction close-ups of two diners with food macros builds to a price card; backlit windows give the faces a soft look.
