The manipulation of diegetic time and space technique is when a film uses an effect in order to portray a change of time or age. Things like a person, an environment or an object is shown to get older or younger through the effect. A number of films or TV shows use this technique as it is a very good way of taking away a massive chunk of the film. The example I am going to use is at the end of the very last episode of the BBC comedy series, Blackadder.

The clip show the characters about to engage in battle at World War II, something the series had been building up to throughout its time on air. Rather than show us the action, the editors instead shown the battleground fade away and come back as an appealing field with many flowers in remembrance of the soldiers who died. Because of this, and the background noise of gun shots, we realise that the characters died during the battle.
