Recipe notes
Three trailer-grammar variants — trailer-bumper pre-roll quick-cut hook, card-footage-cadence title cards interleaved in dialogue with footage, smash-cut hard cut into stillness
When to use it
The trailer's three structural moments: how the opening hooks (A), how the middle converses (B), how the climax closes (C); using all three together is a trailer's skeleton
Intent
The library's rhythm cards each govern a section: beat-cut governs cut-point layout, montage-rhythm governs section breathing, rhythm-interrupt governs interruptions. This card governs **the trailer's structural moments** — not how a single shot moves, but how the film's three joints connect: A is the opening hook — in the 0.9 seconds before the main film, three of the most eye-catching shots quick-cut + a blackout silent beat before the opening, the trailer's "trailer"; B is the middle dialogue — UI shots and black-background phrase cards alternately hard-cut catching each other's beats, both picture and text on beat points, three-act structure; C is the climax period — full-screen momentum roaring to the biggest climax, then a single frame hard-cuts to a neatly still full shot dead silence, chaos → dead silence. Using all three together is a trailer's skeleton.
