Source-linked shot and technique analysis of a 29-second Kronheim's Furniture spot; no media, frames or audio are hosted.

Source: https://archive.org/details/CLE-B01_387734-388618

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 0.0-4.7 s; details 4.7-8.7 s; offer 8.7-11.1 s; offer 11.1-15.0 s; details 15.0-18.5 s; offer 18.5-20.3 s; terms 20.3-23.4 s; cta 23.4-26.2 s; end_card 26.2-29.5 s.

H01 timestamped observations:
0.12 s: Black.
2.33 s: A circle wipe with the words Sale!.
4.79 s: A living room; a card reads This Weekend Plus Monday 10 to 10!
9.90 s: A showroom set with a badge reading up to 1/2 Off!
13.08 s: A torn-paper card: No down payment, No interest, No payments 'til 1999! with small print.
16.79 s: A dining-room set with the 1/2 Off badge.
17.45 s: A sofa and coffee table set with the badge.
19.42 s: A torn-paper card: Do not pay 'til 1999!
21.85 s: A card: Fri. Sat. Sun. Plus Monday 10 to 10!
24.77 s: A card: Kronheims Furniture, 1/2 Off, Columbus Day Sale!
27.82 s: End card: Kronheims Furniture, So Much More. For Less!

Cut evidence: ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 found 8 transitions (a detector count, not a visual verdict; soft transitions are largely invisible to it). File duration 29.474 s matches the annotated 29.474 s.

Reusable lesson: Torn-paper offer cards alternate with room sets, and the same badge and the same long-dated offer repeat for emphasis.
