Filming - Organising a flashback

During my short film, there are two parts where I flashback for my characters. I researched into how people achieve the flashback look in their films.

Most forums give you a few advice points about the flashbacks and whether or not your story or film really need it.


Both flashbacks are a critical part of my film, they reveal details about the character that they wouldn't have known.

I messed around with some of the transitions in iMovie to see which would make my film look like it's flashing back, I decided the white overlay transition would be best, to then show the flashback, I have put it in black and white which is a classic convention of a flashback scene.
