Pass completed scene in film? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overtake

'pass' is the definition.
(I know that pass can be written as overtake)

'completed scene in film?' is the wordplay.
'completed' becomes 'over' (synonyms).
'scene in film?' becomes 'take' (as in a take when filming).
'over'+'take'='OVERTAKE'

(Other definitions for overtake that I've seen before include "Catch up with and pass" , "Pass a car ahead" , "Travel past" , "Pass the car in front" , "Pass (a vehicle)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
