screenplay Rapid movement

[Smaragd]

How to describe this in a screenplay? A panoramic view of a coastal town from the sea. Everything is moving at a significantly accelerated pace, indicating the passage of several days: lights flicker on and off, day turns into night, and so on.

"A [three-day] timelapse shot of a coastal town, wide-angle view as seen from from the sea"

or

"Panoramic view of a town seafront, as a [number of days] timelapse"

I think you did a good job describing it.

A possible solution:

EXT. COASTAL TOWN - SEA - DAY

A MONTAGE unfolds, revealing the coastal town from the sea. Everything moves at an accelerated pace, indicating the passage of several days.

1. Lights flicker on and off in a rhythmic dance.
2. The sun races across the sky, transforming day into night and back again.
3. Waves crash against the shore, capturing the relentless rhythm of time. The bustling town below becomes a blur of activity, a montage of life in fast-forward.

FADE OUT.
