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.

Target A

To achieve my target my research, planning and evaluation must be detailed, effectively communicated and presented digitally, using a wide variety of formats. I need detailed
research into similar products and target audience and to show the process of planning by including excellent work on shotlists, drafts, storyboards,scripts, locations and props. I need to show full evidence of the research and
planning informing the construction process. My
evaluation must reflect my excellent understanding of forms and conventions, an understanding of the use of new media throughout the stages of production, the way my ancillary and primary tasks combine effectively. There will be an
excellent understanding of the significance of audience feedback. My production work, across the formats, will demonstrates excellent creativity and imagination as I seek to make them as convincing as possible and it will also
reflect my mastery in technical skills such as controlled use of the camera, attention to framing, variety of shot sizes, close attention to mise-en-scène, appropriate transitions and use of sound.
