I love when at the end of the flashback the character is shown directly in the eyes, and they give us a different idea of him, just like Gru's example, but more dramatic. One that I love is the case of Jon Snow.
That's a great observation, it's a very common and effective way to end a flashback. As you say, the purpose is exactly to stay for a moment and look at the character's close up. Thanks for the comment! Have a great writing day!
Clayton, that's a really nice comment!! I'm working to create more videos about the format. What's an aspect of screenwriting format you'd like to learn more about?
Hi, I'am currently working on a storyboard for animated series, and this is super helpful!! I just subscribed your channel for more lecture. Thank you! :)
Natalie Lee Natalie, thanks for the nice comment. I love animation, so you can expect more specific content for animation in the future. I think that you, as a storyboard artist, have a great potential as a storyteller. You can start writing your own scripts and quickly visualize them in storyboard or animatic form. I’m currently writing on three animated feature films and it’s so great to see the storyboards and animatic and make adjustments to the script. Please feel free to get in touch and share your work.
@@writeforanimation Wow that sounds awesome! I'll be looking forward to more content. I would share my work when it takes shape. Thanks for the nice comment too!
Hi, great question! You can format it the same way you format flashbacks but indicating IMAGINATION / DREAM / FLASH-FORWARD instead. If it's just a glance into the future, you can indicate BACK TO SCENE in a single line once that quick moment ends. The most important thing is to keep the formatting clear and simple for the reader.
To format IM like text messages, chats, tweets you have different options. Pick the one that you prefer and be consistent throughout your screenplay. If it's a brief shot showing the device or space in which the message appear, you can treat it the same way you'd treat a character reading a note. You describe it in the action block and a shot line to indicate that the camera is focusing on the device: Matt picks up his iPhone. ON MATT'S PHONE A text notification reads: "Where are you?" As long as it's clear, you can omit the shot line and keep everything in the action block: Matt picks up his iPhone. On its display a text notification reads: "Where are you?" With the increase use of IM devices, it's more common than ever to have on screen graphics elements representing the text. (You can find examples of this in Jon Favreau's "CHEF", NETFLIX series "LOCKE & KEY" and many more) In that case, you describe what you see on the screen and write the content of each message as a shot line Here's an example from "CHEF" He attempts to compose a tweet. It appears on screen as a Chyron as he types: TWITTER It is with great sadness that I announce that I have left.... He then DELETES the post before ever hitting send. It can even be as simple as A CHYRON appears next to the phone as he types: Twitter: It is with great sadness that I announce that I have left.... Please let me know if this is helpful while I prepare the full video. If you want, we can go over your specific script and find the best way to write it.
Thank you for this. Your videos an the info of it really help with stories. Especially since it simple and with good examples and not too much like in books. Do you habe some on comedy films? Like how to make comic of funny moments, remarks, lines, etc?
Thank you, Wendy. I love all of your comments, please keep them coming. Would you like to see a video about comedy in animation? Btw, we have an upcoming video created from an interview with Domee Shi, director of TURNING RED, it doesn't focus specifically on comedy. But the film is definitely rich with hilarious moments.
@@writeforanimation Yes amd yes!! When do yoi think we will have one on Encanto? Btw i got interested in the film lessons thing when our values class teacher got us books about morals in movies.

There is a television show that uses flashbacks all the time, I think they are good for some movies/ television shows and some people just don't like them but I think my screenplay needs one. I do not know another way to explain why my character has social anxiety than to tell it in a flashback.
Hello Mandy! Thanks a lot for sharing, and you're right. There is nothing wrong with using a flashback. If you believe it's the best way to show that your character has social anxiety, then go for it!

How does one go about writing flashbacks within flashbacks and change of narrating perspectives like in the movies Holes or Flags of Our Fathers where it had a few layers?
Hey, that's a great question! When it comes to screenplay format, you're fine as long as it's clear and simple. You have different options, it depends on how many times you're doing this. If it's a sequence you can use a slug line that says "BEGIN FLASHBACK SEQUENCE" and then trying to categorize the scenes according to its timeframe. F.i. JOHN'S CHILDHOOD. If it's not a sequence, you might simply add a line in the description after the scene header to clarify. Remember that the audience will SEE the scene, so if you describe a younger character or the surroundings show that we're in the past, it's okay to just describe the scene as we see it. I'd be more than happy to help you find a great option for your specific case. Also I have access to both scripts in PDF (Holes and Flags of Our Fathers), so that you can see how they did it.
Technically you can, but it’s not common. the only situations that come to mind where that might be a good idea are for a comedic where multiple flashbacks are part of a joke, or this backstory or prologue sequences that could jump around in time. - do you have a specific example or situation in mind?
@@writeforanimation it a a point in time where the the main hero is telling the story of how he found out who set him up. Sue the flash back is catching the person then that person then telling him what happened. So it’s flash back in a flash back. But each flash back both have there own story points. The flash back is how he killed the guy and the flash with in a flash back is why he killed the guy lol.
Yes, detective stories can have moments like that. Just make sure it’s clear, play with interesting visual transitions. Also, as a more general note, make sure that the scene doesn’t only satisfy intellectually, but also emotionally. Format-wise there is no need to indicate a double flash back, you just open with FLASHBACK BEGINS and close with FLASHBACK ENDS
If my character is narrating his own story, can he only tell it in the present tense? he can't narrate it as part of the past but without it sounding like a memory, that is, without having a flashback??? I don't know if I explain myself.
Hi Lauren, I assume you are thinking about a Voice Over. In that case you can chose to have the dialogue be in the present or the past. If it’s without having a flashback, consider the importance of what we see. It can be a voice over other scenes happening in the present, or we could see him speaking, we can cut to different characters in other scenes that are related to what he’s saying. - please let me know if this was helpful or if you have more questions. I’m here to help
Hello, I am writer, and I like to write. I need to know how I can involve naration In my script and how good i can involve my flashback.thank you for your good lessons
Hi there, narration in a script is usually handled with a Voice Over, this can be from the voice of a character in your script commenting in present or past time, most of the time is the voice of the protagonist. You can also chose to have an external narrator that introduces the story. Both voice over narration and flashbacks are usually a tool for exposition, which can get boring very quick. Asking yourself if there are other ways to express what you need is a useful exercise. Please let me know if this helps, and you can always email me if you have more questions. Have a great writing day!

how would you call something like a sudden short memory of what happened a few moments ago? Still flashback? Even if its part of the story that the character gets sudden flashes of memory? (huh... flashes.... i guess i just answered myself didn't i?)
:D you're right. Those are quick flashbacks. Like when Dory suddenly remembers all her journey with Marlyn in "Finding Nemo". In those cases you can use a QUICK FLASHBACK (All caps) and describe the flashback. Let me know if that's helpful or if you need help with a specific page of your script.
Great question (and I love your username). The answer is fairly simple, you add the narration as a dialogue with the indication of voice-over next to the name of who is speaking. If who is speaking is a narrator and not a specific character you can write NARRATOR as the name. It would look like this. -- INT.

Hey Tom. Great question! After the flashback headline described around 2:06 in the video, you can decide to add a text that appears on the screen. To indicate that you write all caps in a single line the word "SUPERSCRIPT:" followed the text you want to appear on the screen. In this case, it could be. INT. HOUSE - DAY [FLASHBACK] SUPERSCRIPT: "Two months earlier." After this, you can add your action line to describe the scene as usual. Please let me know if this was helpful or if you have more questions. I'm here to help!
@@tomhague1 Superscript is the indication that a text will appear on the screen. Usually, it's used to indicate the time and/or place of the event. It's typically on top of an establishing shot, but it can also go over a black screen, a person talking, or wherever you need it. Here are some examples: SUPERSCRIPT: "The White House" SUPERSCRIPT: "1985" SUPERSCRIPT: "One year later..." SUPERSCRIPT: "Tom Hauge - Screenwriter"
That's correct Vitor. In some cases you might want to surprise the reader/audience and reveal it was a dream later. In that case you want to make sure it's clear.
