Having a flashback in our opening sequence meant that we could include a section of montage editing. To make it apparent to the audience it was a flashback we decided to add an effect in order to make it clear and understandable. We found it difficult to choose the most appropriate one as we felt that each effect we tried gave a different message. There are a lot of effects to choose from on Final Cut Express (and also rendering the clips takes a while) therefore, after a substantial period of time, we added an echo effect that made the shots echo themselves creating a blur. Watching it back, we think that this effect works well and in asking another audience, feedback shows that they could tell that it was a flashback, meaning that we had succeeded in making it clear enough for them to understand.
