ABSTRACT

This chapter looks at scenes of a more specialised nature or style. Another common technique when dealing with flashbacks is to give those pictures an individual style by colouring or grading them differently from the rest of the material. The different attitudes of victim and criminal can be represented by different styles of Points of View (POV) shots. To a large extent, the style of flashbacks within a film or TV screenplay is preconceived in the writing, design, or direction. Shot in Technicolor, well at least the scenes on earth are, the film is breath-taking in its technique, and so far ahead of its time. The sequence tends to use shots of a shorter duration compared with gentler scenes. The scene settles on a shot of a now calm sea with a few floating lifejackets and other debris on the surface of the sea where the men used to be.
