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-muffins-1980-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 0.0-3.0 s; offering 3.0-7.6 s; proof 7.6-22.6 s; details 22.6-26.6 s; end_card 26.6-30.1 s.

H01 timestamped observations:
0.12 s: Black start.
1.50 s: Title card 'DUNKIN' DONUTS MUFFINS' in orange and pink.
3.12 s: Two hands break a chocolate-chip muffin.
7.75 s: Older woman eating from a plate by a fireplace.
14.80 s: Older woman in a kitchen holding an empty muffin tin.
18.68 s: Two older women on a red settee with a muffin box.
22.77 s: Muffins in close-up.
24.61 s: Muffins in a blue-lined basket.
26.69 s: Woman in a conservatory with a muffin box and a teapot.
28.32 s: End tag 'It's worth the trip.' with the product logo.

Cut evidence: ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 found 5 transitions (a detector count, not a visual verdict; soft transitions are largely invisible to it). File duration 30.072 s matches the annotated 30.072 s.

Reusable lesson: Older-character vignettes in different rooms are cut between food close-ups; the slogan sits on the last frame.
