Use of flashbacks in film and television

The use of flashbacks in film and television help the audience uncover a piece of information about the plot, the most common genre of television and film that uses flashbacks is crime. The crime genre is the easiest to use flashbacks as it reveals the past act of the antagonist. Also fkashbacks can reveal some of the personal life in the protagonist - their fatal flaw. To summerise this device helps the audience empathise with the protagonist, as well as giving the audience a greater understanding of the narrative.

Above is a clip from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, where we see the main protagonist 'Grisom' have a flashback which exposes his fatal flaw, whilst making the audience understand and empathise.

Magazine Review Resesarch

The magazine cover shows what the main feature of that edition will be, in this case ''This is England''

 The main page of the article is a two page spread, mainly built by the screenshot from the film, with text on each page but not enough to overlap the image at the bottom.

 

The text size changes, if there is a part of the text that the editors want the reader to see first they make it bold. In this case the bold text is talking about the style of film and how it was filmed and how it looks visually.

The screenshot reflects the text, so as the text is talking about the visuals of the film, they pick a stylish image to reflect this.
