Total a Consecutive Shot Timeline
A consecutive nonoverlapping edit occupies the sum of its shot durations.
About 25 minutes, plus any extended practice
Supplied materials
- Paper and a pencil, typed notes or a browser scratch area. Color names can replace colored supplies; drawn figures and timelines can replace performance.
- Complete teaching inputs: An original silent storyboard has consecutive shots lasting 3, 5 and 2 seconds, with no overlap or gap. What is its complete planned duration? Supplied candidates: (A) 10 seconds (B) 11 seconds (C) 12 seconds (D) 9 seconds.
- Independent check: An original silent storyboard has consecutive shot durations [3, 3, 2] seconds, with no overlaps or gaps. What is its total planned duration? Supplied candidates: (A) 10 seconds (B) 7 seconds (C) 8 seconds (D) 9 seconds.
Learn the idea
Plan a production that preserves meaning and honest records. Use redundant visual information, keep asset provenance and scope, calculate a consecutive edit timeline and interpret a supplied design-check record without inflating its findings. A consecutive nonoverlapping edit occupies the sum of its shot durations. Use the supplied no-gap, no-overlap condition before applying ordinary addition.
Reason through the supplied case: Add the three occupied intervals: 3+5+2=10 seconds. Their cumulative endpoints are 3, 8 and 10. The total checks the paper timeline under the no-overlap/no-gap model, rather than proving the duration of a rendered export.
Real overlapping transitions use a different timing model. This calculation checks an original storyboard plan and does not establish the length of an unrendered exported video.
- Read the complete teaching inputs and mark the feature, rule or constraint being tested.
- Compare the model decision with one rejected candidate; state the visible evidence or calculation that distinguishes them.
- Solve the independent check and the three changed-input practice cases before reading feedback.
- Make a three-shot silent storyboard lasting two, four and three seconds, with labeled cumulative endpoints.
- Check your artifact against these explicit criteria: The consecutive endpoints are two, six and nine seconds, and total duration is nine.

Supplied candidates: (A) 10 seconds (B) 11 seconds (C) 12 seconds (D) 9 seconds. Model decision: 10 seconds. Add the three occupied intervals: 3+5+2=10 seconds.

Helpful tips
- A consecutive nonoverlapping edit occupies the sum of its shot durations.
- Real overlapping transitions use a different timing model.

8 seconds
The shots occupy consecutive intervals, so add their durations: 3+3+2=8 seconds. Overlapping transitions would require a different timeline model; none are included here. The sum evaluates the plan, not a real video export.
Take it further
New-input analysis: An original silent storyboard has consecutive shots lasting 4, 2 and 5 seconds, with no overlap or gap. What is its complete planned duration? Supplied candidates: (A) 10 seconds (B) 11 seconds (C) 12 seconds (D) 13 seconds. Expected relationship: 11 seconds. The nonoverlapping shot intervals occupy 4+2+5=11 seconds in total. Their successive endpoints are 4, 6 and 11. This arithmetic checks the paper timeline; a rendered export remains a separate verification. Create your own artifact: Make a three-shot silent storyboard lasting two, four and three seconds, with labeled cumulative endpoints. Completion criteria: The consecutive endpoints are two, six and nine seconds, and total duration is nine.
