Flashbacks

A powerful storytelling technique utilized by screenwriters to take the audience to their past is what flashbacks are. Relevant and vital content to the main storyline or character arcs is required while writing a flashback.

Storytelling is a very powerful method of indicating what happened before and why it did happen, thus being a key element in script writing. Instead of breaking up all of them with ellipses or other devices, allow them to flow. So that the individual scenes don’t seem disjointed, learn how to integrate them.

However, experiences don’t always have to be in chronological order or such that they were presented in the introductory scene. This is why one should master the art of using flashbacks in his writing endeavors.

There is an interesting video about “Flashbacks and Backstory” on Hello Future Me‘s Youtube Channel. Let’s watch it.
