Source-linked shot and technique analysis of a 15-second McDonald's spot; no media, frames or audio are hosted.

Source: https://archive.org/details/mubd1234ama-9Is98igJK7A

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 0.0-2.7 s; desire 2.7-5.7 s; problem 5.7-10.3 s; details 10.3-12.9 s; end_card 12.9-15.1 s.

H01 timestamped observations:
0.12 s: A man on a building site holds a burger, a bag at his side.
1.34 s: He lifts it to his mouth.
2.80 s: Close-up of a bite.
5.84 s: A coworker in a hi-vis vest watches.
8.02 s: Same two-shot.
10.44 s: A product macro of a muffin and patties on a red ground.
12.73 s: The finished stack with small print: Available with Breakfast until 10.30 am. Limited time.

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 15.139 s matches the annotated 15.139 s.

Reusable lesson: One bite and a coworker's reaction sell the portion size, and a macro shows the stack before the small print.

Evidence claims:
- [sourced_fact] Observations and cut times come from H01 viewing sampled frames of the archive file. · source: https://archive.org/details/mubd1234ama-9Is98igJK7A
- [upstream_claim] Beat boundaries are upstream annotation, not H01 observation.
- [creative_judgment] One bite and a coworker's reaction sell the portion size, and a macro shows the stack before the small print.
