Explanation:

The word "temporarily" means for a short time. The phrase "three minutes at a time" indicates a short - duration period, which gives a clue about the meaning of "temporarily". The other phrases ("some movie directors", "scenes they needed", "traffic and pedestrians") do not relate to the concept of time duration.

Answer:

three minutes at a time
