Flashback’s

 Today we are going to research about how to do a flash back. Just because I want my script to have a flashback so the story can make more sense and be easier to do me and my team are going to create a flashback. 

This here describes how I can or need to do the flashback. What it’s telling me is that in the starting and the ending of the flashback, I need to use “begin flashback” and “end flashback” all in caps, and after that carry on with how I usually do my scripts, which I usually forget to do and that is the “INT. OLD APARTMENT- NIGHT” so that the director knows where that scene is going to be located.

To the right is an example and explanation of a quick flashback. For my movie I want to use a long flashback. The flashback that is to the right is a very short one like when something happens and the person ends up seeing it again making the person remember what happened in a flashing memory. 

This seems likes it’s just a guide to help me understand how I should do the flashbacks. It’s telling me to be consistent, I don’t think I’ll really need that since this is only a 2 minute film, it’s also telling me how I should chose the formatting on how to use the flashbacks, for my movie my flashback might be something that triggers the character and it can show their motivation on why they are the way they are, or the character can show their life style now and then have a flashback on how they use to act before. 

Here is a better more accurate example of how it should look.

All of this research is going to be very helpful in the matter of writing for the short film. The way everything is being explained makes me relax and makes me think all this writing won’t be entirely stressing. This part even seems pretty easy, only because i’m just adding a couple of words and then it’s just like writing the normal script. So what I/ we have learned in this blog today is how do a a flashback when writing the script, can’t wait to see how our movie turns our, and can’t wait for you to see either.
