Metalanguage Task

Flashback montage – Cutting and pasting specific parts of the flash back to save time and cut out unnecessary viewing.
Example – When Nick was diagnosis with cancer and see a flash of all the possible cause they may have led to the cancer. As if life is flashing before his eyes.

Flash forward montage - Cutting and putting only specific shots of the flash forward to show only necessary information.
Example – When we see Nick and Meryl travelling and Andy in many happy situations.

Flash forward – a segment of film that breaks normal chronological order by shifting directly to a future time.
Flash forward like flash back may be subjective (showing the precognition or fears of what might happen) or objective (suggesting what will eventually happen) and thus setting up relationships for the audience to perceive.
Example – When Meryl and Nick are fornicating, Meryl has the flash forward animation of possibly receiving aids or the possibility of pregnancy.
