Filmmakers can adapt the eight-panel structure by dividing a scene into eight distinct moments or beats. Each panel could represent a different action, reaction, or piece of information. This allows for a controlled reveal of information, building suspense or creating a sense of fragmented reality. Transitions between 'panels' can be achieved through cuts, dissolves, or even camera movements that mimic the shift between panels in a comic.
