VideoEssay - "Flashbacks in Films" from Hauke Sterner on Vimeo.
This video, in a nutshell, explains the meaning behind, when and how to use flashbacks. This was helpful to me as it gave me a good idea of how professional films create flashbacks for their films. The biggest lesson I learnt was that flashback have to have meaning behind them, whether it'd be to show the struggles of the person's young life or to show information from a witness about a murder that could lead to a conviction. I think with our opening sequence, our flashback don't have a real meaning behind them. If you were to take out the flashbacks we have then it would have no overall effect on the outcome of the titles. With that in mind, I think a change idea might be appropriate, even if it means eliminating the idea altogether.
