# beam mids II · SAME LINE · FIRST BLOOD · SKID · 0.1 s continuity audit (E, 28 Oct)

## How it was checked
- **Scrub:** each mid end to end at every 0.1 s scene step, at gore 5, from the LIVE files (`/Volumes/Workspace/Scratch/killpages-e/out/mids/audit/`).
- **Ladder:** the line and the final at every level (`out/mids/<name>_ladder_6.jpg`).
- **The lead:** each mid's gameplay lead is an 'aim' lead (kill: 'aim', word: false). There is no gameplay killing hit, ZZAP word or flying weapon before the film. Blocking had all three (the default lead), and they are now fixed.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.0-0.12 | R grip · L barrel; the charge already building on her | the pistol low | - | - | - |

| 0.4 | - | she fires first | BULLET TIME (to 0.2x): her round crawls toward him (a film liberty: 170 px/s scene), a heat shimmer behind it | - | - |
| 0.62 | the line | - | it meets the round a third of the way (molten droplets that patter and stay) and runs on down her bore | - | - |
| 0.63-0.7 | - | XT / VH / H: the head bursts (the eye behind the sights); M: the hand at the wrist (a round cap), she kneels; L: the pistol bursts out of her hand and the heat flattens her; VL: she stares at the shards and runs | the pistol split open in red-hot petals in her hand, then dropped (blown away at L); it cools and stays | - | - |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.0-1.1 | low ready, the muzzle down (A.w 36) | the hand hovering over the holster, the fingers flexing | the hot spent core at Faris's boot ticks every 0.25 s (a pulse, a wisp) | - | - |
| 1.1-1.25 | the muzzle comes up; the glow begins | THE DRAW (the revolver out of the holster: the holster stays on his hip) | - | - | - |
| 1.35 | the round in his support shoulder (a spurt, a hit spring); the muzzle dips 8°; he re-plants without a step | fires first | - | - | - |
| 1.5 | - | the rushed second shot rings off the shroud | - | - | - |
| 1.6 | the line (slow motion 1.56-1.82) | XT / VH / H: the head; M: the gun arm at the shoulder; L: the revolver blown out of his hand, flattened; VL: a near miss past his ear; hands up | the revolver lands and stays (L / VL) | - | - |
