English term or phrase: play out
"The eye goes where it needs to, and you understand the mechanics of what's happening and how it's playing out."

I'm not sure about the term 'play out' here. Is it as in 'turn out good' or 'work out'?

A little bit about the context:
It's about the audience seeing a sequence of the film in cinema. They also talk about the director's approach to do the film

Thanks for any comments!

Reference information:
Tp play out verstehe ich hier im Sinne von „How it all pans out“- was letztendlich dabei rauskommt

Das Auge richtet sich auf das, was gezeigt werden soll, und man versteht, was da genau abgeht und was dabei rauskommt
