In this paper, we study the application of a scene structure visualizing technique called Double-Ring Take-Transition-Diagram (DR-TTD). This technique presents takes and their transitions during a film scene via nodes and edges of a 'graph' consisting of two rings as its back-bone. We describe how certain filmic elements such as montage, centre/cutaway, dialogue, temporal flow, zone change, dramatic progression, shot association, scene introduction, scene resolution, master shot and editing orchestration can be identified from a scene through the signature arrangements of nodes and edges in the DR-TTD.
