To signify flash backs within this film the shot duration for each shot is a fraction of a second and tends to have a faded discoloration to the montage of shots. Another factor to take into consideration is the use of the fast pace fade to black flickering to connote that the shot is in fact a memory from the relevant past and has something to do with the mental state of the current character, which tends to be the protagonist. As seen on both screen shots: 1 and 2 the shot fades to black to elaborate on the fact the flash back is coming to an end or is about to move onto another sequence of shots. The use of point of view shot (POV) in screen shot two allows the viewer to encapsulate the whole atmosphere and emotional feel how distressed the memory is for the women having the memory. The use of flashbacks are vastly useful especially when being able to show a past scene or shot that the film only wishes to briefly cover: saving time and also funds. It also allows for continuity within the film and deeper emotional level of understanding without having to disrupt or change the narrative of the plot within the film. The particular use of flashback within this film was to signify the fragmented memories that the protagonist has from when she wakes up after being in a size year coma. The memoires are the main part of the film in the sense that she is on an exodus to piece together and work out what they really mean and whether or not they're a psychological imagination.
Through the use of diegetic sound of the surgeon stating 'she's not going to make it' and then the non-diegetic sound of the heart machine and the rolling in of the hospital bed all add to the intrigue of narrative and elaborate on the fact the flash back is an actual memory that had occurred right before the accident.
