Manipulation of diegetic time and space

Manipulation of diegetic time and space

Manipulating diegetic time and space is a technique used in editing to show various stories in a movie. It can be used:

  • Flashbacks-
Flashbacks are used to show what happened in the timeline before the moment we are currently viewing. It is during production that they will need to focus on what the flashbacks require ie. makeup/wardrobe/sets, then it is the editor's job to place the shot in the right part of the timeline.

  • Time travel-
Time travelling in films requires plenty of planning of the shots. This can be confusing for the editor to place in order in the timeline without either the storyboards or the director with them during the editing process.

  • Something over a period of time.
Showing something ageing, deteriorating or changing over a period of time requires for all the shots taken to be in the correct order for it to look right or the story would not make sense.
