Thanks for sharing! I'm writing a screenplay at the moment and watching this video made me realize I've checked all the boxes as regards this theme! 💃That's all thanks to you too. 👍

I format mine by writing: (FLASHBACK) at the end of the slugline. Thanks for sharing!

"Casablanca" is another classic film that uses flashbacks really well. It is my favorite classic film from 1942.

Thank you so much for the time to take to make this awesome content! So helpful! I’m completely new at screen writing. Having a hard time morning my question properly. Can you please tell me a bit about writing a flashback through a narration? I’m not sure if I’m supposed to write the dialogue and then write a sequence of the flashback… Or do I write the flashback and then write the dialogue describing it? That seems backwards. It’s kind of a long narrative my character is giving, explaining why another character became a bad guy. It seems strange to write too much dialogue about it because when I write the flashback it’s like telling the story completely over again from beginning to end. **How do I indicate to the reader/director which flashback is for what part of the narration/dialogue? I apologize sorry if my questions are confusing. I’m also very concerned I may be doing it wrong because maybe I’m supposed to write the ENTIRE flashback before or after my character tells the story? Maybe it’s wrong to do it in sequence? Is it OK to simply provide all the information by writing the entire flash back and then the entire narrative … And then leave it up to the Director to decide where the scenes get inserted during the narration? My goodness...I find this so intimidating😅 Thanks for any help you can share💜
@Demeach
I am too scared to use a flashback, and this helps. Can you also give more advice for a montage?
@classicalperformances8777
How do you write flashback glimpses, seconds in time?

Well, one of the Greatest Movies of All Time "Citizen Kane" is one big flashback.
@kidsomagnificent
I gotta question so what if I'm writing an experience about another character but from the protagonist's perspective. It also has an effect on the protagonist's world, using the same format is it still the same or no?

A flashback is not a problem. The problem comes when it's not properly executed. A flashback has te be used for a reason, it has to be important for the plot (A-story) or your B-story. With a flashback you are interrupting the natural flow of your story and takes you out of it, so there better be a good reason to do so. But when properly executed, they can become the best part of a story.
