Research into Flashbacks

After finalising our storyboard we have decided we are going to include flashbacks. This is because we felt we needed to have another character who is the opposite of the main character. This would then create binary opposition and allow for a plot line to emerge from these shots.

The flashback idea was thought of because the main character suffers from schizophrenia we felt that it would play into the fact that they suffer from hallucinations and thought disorders. This meant we were able to find another actor that could play the younger 'Mandy'.

After researching into how to create flashbacks we have been practising with test footage to enable us to understand how to create the effect before we start editing the whole trailer. When looking at different flashbacks that have already been created we found that they all have a glowing effect and the footage has a film grain effect which together creates the whole flashback look.



This is a video that we found on youtube that we thought was very helpful:



This is our example of flashbacks-
