16. How are we applying the Andreea Cristea
Part O
Theories of Prop
• Flashback - A scene that takes the narrative back in time from the
current point the story has reached
• - There is not any flashback in our opening sequence, because the
action doesn’t need to be seen back in time, we don’t want to give
too much information for the viewers to make sure it builds enigma.
(find out why she is has this disorder, how it started )
17. Andreea Cristea
Flash-forward -scene that takes the narrative forward in time from the current Part O
point of the story in media or literature.
There is not flash forward in our opening sequence, because the story line is
happening in the present and we don't want to give away what will it happen
in the future with her
18. How are we applying the Part P
Theories of Strauss
• A pair of related terms or concepts that are
opposite in meaning

happens between this ages. Also can be target at Males
