Dunkin' Donuts Croissants (1985, 30 s): bakers on parade with a tray
Source-linked shot and technique analysis of a 30-second Dunkin' Donuts spot; no media, frames or audio are hosted.
Source: https://archive.org/details/dunkin-donuts-croissants-1985-tv-commercial
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 0.0-4.5 s; proof 4.5-18.3 s; details 18.3-22.9 s; desire 22.9-30.0 s.
H01 timestamped observations:
0.12 s: Dark start.
9.13 s: Two men in bakers' whites hold a tray of croissants in a large hall.
18.39 s: Croissants close-up.
20.58 s: Title text 'DUNKIN' DONUTS CROISSANTS'.
23.02 s: Wide return to the tray scene.
26.46 s: Another baker joins from the right edge.
Cut evidence: ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 found 2 transitions (a detector count, not a visual verdict; soft transitions are largely invisible to it). File duration 30.03 s matches the annotated 30.03 s.
Reusable lesson: A single staged scene (a hall of bakers) is cut with product close-ups, and the product name is titled over a close-up at 20 s.
