How to show time passing

[Lucas Hubbard]

I know this is kind of basic but does anyone have some ideas on showing time passing in a sort film. In the scene my character would sit down and start doing something until hours later her is interrupted. How do I show the time passing without going to a different scene.

 

 

thanks

Day or night scene?

Montage? Time lapse?

Its a day scene transitioning into night.

If it's a day scene transitioning into night, doesn't that already tell you that time is passed?

Why not using a Clock in the background ? You can use it decent but clearly eye-catching. Thats for indoor scenes, though.

I thought about that but my issue is transitioning from time A to time B without a fade.

...what about a cut?

 

When I see something go from daylight to night time, I kinda figure it out...

thanks for the help. I guess it just took some common sense. If it changes from day to night time has passed. :P
