Definition of ellipsis and expansion of time: An ellipsis is when the action in a film is shown in a way that makes it take less time than in the actual story. Expansion of time is the opposite of this in that it shows the action in such a way that it takes more time than the actual story. This is sometimes achieved by shots from previous scenes being reshown.

Example of expansion of time:
Expansion of time is used here to highlight the boredom and monotony of everyday life and the audience sees this too.
