The zfilm alone does not tell us where JFK or JBC is hit and does not tell us when the first two shots occurred. So the events that it shows have to be interpreted with the rest of the evidence. For example, when JFK and Jackie turn sharp right at about z160-175 from looking left and wave to bystanders, it appeared to Mary Woodward that this was done in response to them shouting and waving to get the President's attention and that the first shot was after this.
"She stated she was watching President and Mrs. KENNEDY closely, and
all of her group cheered loudly as they went by. Just as the President and
Mrs. KENNEDY went by, they turned and waved at them. Just a second
or two later, she heard a loud noise. At this point, it appeared to her that
President and Mrs. KENNEDY probably were about one hundred feet
from her."

I think the use of "went by" was a broad generalization of the motorcade having arrived and part of it (some vehicles and motorcycle) having already gone down Elm. She says they were some distance "from her" when she heard the first shot. They're about thirty feet from Woodward during the Z190s.
Woodward says the car had not reached her group in an earlier account.
"The president and his wife were talking to each other, and for a moment
it seemed that after all the waiting, we weren’t going to get to see them
full-face. Then we started our own cheering section, and President and
Mrs. Kennedy turned around, looked directly at us, flashed their well-
known smiles, gave us a wave of recognition, then looked forward again.
Ann and I remarked, almost echoing each other, how well and radiant
they both looked. The car proceeded down Elm, and when it was about
40 yards from us, we heard the first noise."
And again she says the car was a significant distance from her.
The only place I can find where it might be thought by Woodward that the Kennedys were both "full-faced" towards her group is in the Tina Towner film.
That would be more consistent with what Woodward described. As well, Woodward said she saw the Kennedys react to hearing the first shot:
"The President and Mrs. Kennedy turned and looked around, as if they, too,
didn’t believe the noise was really coming from a gun. Then after a moment’s
pause there was another shot and I saw the President start slumping in the car."
The President turns rightward in the Z150s with Mrs. Kennedy starting to turn in the Z160s. They don't turn rightward nowhere else during the approach to the Stemmons Frwy sign.
Also, no one said that JFK smiled and waved after the first shot. Yet many ignore that evidence and conclude that this was a turn in response to hearing a gunshot. All those who support second shot SBT do that. They are just fooling themselves.
I am not relying only on Phil Willis. His evidence is supported by several others including:
- His daughter, Linda, said that the first shot occurred when the President’s limousine was in line with her and the Stemmons sign, which puts it well before z223 and in that z195-205 area.
- His other daughter, Rosemary, turns her head sharply rearward toward the TSBD between z204 and z207.
- Hugh Betzner who said that he had started to wind his camera after taking his z186 photo when the first shot occurred.
Betzner is still lowering his camera by Z207 as he goes of sight in the Zapruder film. The Dorman film shows Betzner's head level and turning toward the Depository or the LBJ car about the same time. So Betzner winding his camera as he hears a shot does not relate to your belief that a first shot occurred Z195-Z205. Assuming Betzner winds his camera shortly thereafter (Z207 when he goes out of view in the film), it would be an argument that the shot he heard while winding the camera was the proposed SBT shot at Z223.
- T.E. Moore (24 H 534) who gave a statement saying "By the time President KENNEDY had reached the Thornton Freeway sign, a shot was fired and Mr. MOORE observed the President slumping forward in the Presidential car." The President was opposite the Thornton sign at z200 - well before z223.
