Flashbacks are used throughout a range of films and specific genres. This example comes from Harry Potter and shows Snape's memories in order to inform the audience of the story and past events in order to consolidate their understanding and further their predictions or ideas surrounding the plot.
I believe that we have challenged the stereotypical layout of a psychological horror as it has taken the form of a non-linear narrative that throughout my research I have discovered isn't present within many psychological horror films.
Throughout the research process we found that flashbacks would be effective therefore, we decided to incorporate them somehow within our opening sequence. This is the first initial point where we decided to incorporate this idea:
We decided that flashbacks would be an effective way to experiment with a non-linear narrative. This clip shows the antagonist (played by Danielle) whilst she was alive, before the supernatural threat overtook her. The innocence of the character within this clip contrasts with her behaviors whilst she is dead - therefore emphasising her initial innocence. The flashback allows further information about the character and informs the audience further in order to allow them to follow the storyline closely.
