Hi

I'm writing a script that starts off in the present day. The majority of the script will then be a flashback, ending with the start scene again.

I was just wondering what the best way of formatting that is?

I was going to just have...

Start scene
Begin Flashback
Story
The End

Is that right or at some point do I need to put END FLASHBACK or back to present day?

Thanks in advance

Ste

Look for the script for 'Titanic.'  That would be a good model to follow.

Since the majority of your film takes place in the past, I would simply add a date card at the beginning of your flashback. The audience will know that we are stepping back in time and they'll know when the story catches up to your opening sequence again.

I wouldn't bother adding the FLASHBACK. I'd use SUPER (and then date, etc...)

Hope this helps.

Thanks folks.

That's what they do in Titanic aswell.

Cheers
