How the movement works
To show a small object or a hand action, or to point out an important prop.
- 01Join: two straight cuts (0 frames); to the detail at 1.6 s and back to the scene at 2.9 s (the detail lasts 1.3 s)
- 02Main shot (A): fixed camera (height 1.4 m); a person stands 0.6 m left, 6 m away, with a watch (dark dot) on the wrist; a post 2.2 m right, 4 m away
- 03Detail (INSERT): a big close-up of the wrist from the same scene; a blue sleeve (600×92 px, rotated -0.35 rad) on pale blue, a white dial (radius 58 px), dark hands and a blue second hand that makes one turn in 1.3 s
- 04Bottom strip: three sections A (grey), detail (blue), A (grey) with a playhead; what is cut in belongs to the same scene (21 Cutaway shows a different subject)
- 05Top-right readout shows "SHOT A" → "INSERT" → "SHOT A"; at 4.7 s it cuts straight back to the start
