Source-linked shot and technique analysis of a 60-second Folgers spot; no media, frames or audio are hosted.

Source: https://archive.org/details/FolgersCoffe

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 0.0-3.7 s; problem 3.7-22.0 s; transition 22.0-29.5 s; offering 29.5-37.5 s; proof 37.5-54.8 s; end_card 54.8-60.0 s.

H01 timestamped observations:
1.87 s: Wife and husband at a breakfast table; he answers with head shakes (3.86-20.79 s alternating close-ups).
22.11 s: Supermarket parking lot: she meets a friend by a car.
31.80 s: The friend holds up a jar of Instant Folgers.
37.62 s: Brief black frame between scenes.
39.87 s: Evening breakfast table again (same setting as the opening; what is said there was not heard, audio not listened to).
57.39 s: End frame: jar and steaming cup with 'Tastes good as fresh-perked!'.

Cut evidence: ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 found 13 hard cuts (soft transitions are invisible to it). File duration 60.027 s matches the annotated 60.027 s.

Reusable lesson: A long setup (about 22 s by the upstream beat labels) returns to the same table for the proof beat, and the end card writes the claim 'Tastes good as fresh-perked!'. Whether the claim is also spoken was not checked (audio not listened to).

Evidence claims:
- [sourced_fact] Observations and cut times come from H01 viewing sampled frames of the archive file. · source: https://archive.org/details/FolgersCoffe
- [upstream_claim] Beat boundaries are upstream annotation, not H01 observation.
- [creative_judgment] A long setup (about 22 s by the upstream beat labels) returns to the same table for the proof beat, and the end card writes the claim 'Tastes good as fresh-perked!'. Whether the claim is also spoken was not checked (audio not listened to).
