I think that the art of cinema already uses many varying comic techniques that alter the passing of time in films. I think that the aspects of what McCloud talks about are already used in cinema. This specific shot from Everything Everywhere All at Once and its framing convey the idea of time passing with no dialogue similarly to McCloud’s techniques, no acting, just rocks and incredible camerawork. Of course, context is required to understand that time is passing but the idea still remains. With these methods, all you really need is the use of cinematography.
