Flashback film technology

Flashback: The exhibition time is relatively short, and several shots often flash by. In the traditional film technique, it is an artistic technique to use flashback short images to express the psychological activities, psychological States and emotional ups and downs of characters.

The main functions of flashback:

1 is to show the thoughts, feelings and psychological activities of the characters in an instant, and to show the invisible inner changes and development of the characters with visible pictures.

2. Flashback can show the characters, peek into the mysteries of their hearts, and reveal their inner world more directly than ordinary memories.

3. With the development of film technology, flashback in modern movies is not limited to the memory or prosecution of a certain character. The director may deliberately disrupt the narrative order, and flashback can produce special suspense and curiosity in structure.

Examples of flashback shooting:

For example, Mo Yan's "Red Sorghum" takes Yu Zhanao's attack on the Japanese motorcade as the main line, and its writing style is constantly changing. There are stories about uncle Lohan being skinned in public, my grandmother getting married in a sedan chair, serving as an adjutant and Yu Daya, and my grandmother and my grandfather in the sorghum field.

The middle keeps flashing back to the main line. This narrative method is not a local narrative technique, but involves the overall structure. When using this method, we should pay attention to the clarity of thinking and the connection of context to prevent the skills from getting out of control.
