If it's really really important to the scene. I'd only do this in a comedy of sorts. As a general rule, you'd want to visualize the time span. Like, showing a gas gauge half full, then your next scene, describe the gauge as near empty. Or INT. FARMHOUSE - DAY Bob squeezes fresh milk from Bessy's utter into a metal container, then funnels it into a plastic carton. Nine more empty cartons lie about. A rough SIGH as he knows he's going to be here for a while. SUPERIMPOSE: 2 HOURS LATER (signifies on-screen text) Bob's eyes are heavy as he drains the last bit of milk from the cow's utter. Ten plastic containers are now filled with milk. Something like that. My opinion.

OVER BLACK SCREEN: "Two hours later". Or something visual clock on walk, fade to same clock two hours later, pull back showing room.
Yes, the clock visual is simple and perfect. Much better than "TWO HOURS LATER". Stay visual.
Hmm, OK. Work With Something Similar Thank You. Oh, Would You Happen To Know Exactly How To Write A Parody Movie Trailer or is it written just like a regular sketch? Appreciate the tips!
I agree with Antoine. A superimpose shot is the way to go
Craig is on the money. Craaaaaaaig.
