ABSTRACT · HERO SCENES — five ways to look at the device and nothing else, in the abstract reel's grammar. A hero scene is 5.5–6 s of one slow move around one real device at true size, lit by a rig that is the shot's whole argument. No headline: the only copy is the wordmark on the glass and, in two scenes, a strap the size of a caption. The reel's rule holds — the device never does anything interesting; the SET and the LIGHT do.

  04  e04-turntable   6.0   match-move     laptop   a soft-box you can SEE, and a laptop turning 30° under it
  05  e05-horizon     6.0   —              iphone   the phone over a ridged terrain, a sun behind the ridge

29.0 s of scene + four gaps (3.2 s) ≈ 32.2 s on the wall. Every scene also
stands alone: cut one out, set transition=none, and it is a hero beat.

THE RIGS, one claim each:
  · PEDESTAL (e01) — one area key, one cool rim, and a rail of emissive on
    the podium's top edge, so the floor of the shot is lit from inside.
  · VITRINE (e02) — an open cage of twelve metal rods, no glass: a
    transmissive pane renders opaque white in this runtime (the reel's own
    s06 wall does too, checked in the browser), so glass would hide the
    phone. An emissive ring on the lid and a thin-film ring inside give
    the case its light.
  · DEPTH (e03) — the camera never moves. focus= on three frame rows
    (580 → 1180 → 1780 mm, dof_range 180, dof_blur 9) is the whole shot:
    a rack focus is a camera move that costs no camera motion.
  · TURNTABLE (e04) — light(type=area helper=true): the soft-box draws
    its own emissive panel, so the streak on the lid has a visible source
    and the reflection in the mirror floor has something to reflect.
  · HORIZON (e05) — a heightfield (ridged=1, 700 mm amplitude) 4 m behind
    the phone with an emissive sun disc behind the ridge; the phone is
    900 mm from the lens so it reads at true size against a landscape.

THE DEVICE IS THE MATCH. Four phones and the turntable's laptop carry
match=hero, so the reel's match-move gap flies one device from hero to hero
(phone → laptop → phone across e03/e04/e05 is the reel's own s06/s07/s08
move). Every scene carries hz0/hz1/hz2. Floors: phone at floor + 79.75,
laptop at floor + 118.9.

glass box and is now a rod cage for that reason.
