[Quiet Man Cometh]

I find time often tends to be hard to follow in movies and such when details like that aren't supplied in the handy little type that comes across screens at relevant moments. Watching Shrek 4 it took some discussion on our part to figure out whether or not it had only been one day, and often I find stuff that feels longer sometimes is supposed to only occur in a day or so. I think part of it has to do with film conditions. Some scenes may be lighter than others and make it look like it's a different time of day, so a light scene followed by a dark scene followed by another light scene (sunny versus cloudy for intance) can make a film seem like it supposed to take place over longer than what it actually is. I guess that's when directors and such don't pay quite enough attention to continuity when filming over multiple days or at different times on the same day.
