My niece Chelsey has set up a camera on the ladderback chair she has placed at the front entrance of my childhood home, facing the front garden. She faces the camera towards the flowers. She wants to see how much the blooms develop over each short PERIOD OF TIME in the photograph, and then she will splice them together to make an interesting film.

The sun is shining brightly as we watch ChiChi reorganizing my tool box on the front porch of my childhood home. We watch as she takes out each tool, cleans it and the places it meticulously in the exact spot on the shelf and then starts on the next one and so on and so on... Fast frame as you see the sun quickly pass overhead and the moon comes out (to show a period of time) and then freeze on the moon next to the completed tool box.

There was a period of time when Kim Kardashian and I were friends and I remember her and Kanye going outside and talking about buying their own moon.

My actress is outside constantly climbing a ladder to reset the moon in the sky. A time lapse occurs as the moon goes through it's whole cycle. Finally she can rest. It's been such a long time!

My qi actor (Kirsty) is taking ball bearings (full stops=periods) off the tool rack, she slips and bangs her head. Over a period of time after she wakes up, the moon has rotated, bit like the Batman symbol from commissioner Gordon in the light from the moon shining in the sky.

What's the difference between 期 and shi2jian1?
Mandarin Blueprint
期 means a "period of time" and can never be used on its own, only as a part of a compound word, e.g. 过期,期间,等. 时间 is the general common word for "time" and can be used on its own.
