The read in plain English
Weakest stretch, 0:01–0:04
The predicted response is lowest in the opening, during the hook shot. Look here first in review: the first three seconds are where a viewer decides whether to stay.
Strongest stretch, 0:15–0:18
The predicted response peaks around the payoff shot. Protect this moment in the edit, or ask whether it could come earlier.
Shot by shot, the hook trails
Averaged over each shot, the payoff (0:16–0:25) carries the highest predicted response and the hook (0:00–0:08) the lowest.
Doing the most work: motion
Of the seven brain areas, motion has the highest predicted response across the clip, peaking at 0:19 in the payoff shot.
Computed from the model's per-second prediction for an average viewer. A diagnostic, not a forecast of views.
0:00 · cyan = stronger predicted response
0:00 · shot 1 · Attention +0.55 SD vs. the whole cortex
Ask which second the model predicts the strongest response, what the hook does, or where it goes flat. Answers come from this clip's per-second prediction, and any second they mention jumps the video there.
Predicted cortical response of an average viewer, not a measurement. Not validated against engagement.
