Extra Flashback research

Vanilla Sky is a film about a publisher who falls in love but his lover doesn't agree which causes things to take a turn for the surreal when she drives herself and him off a bridge.
This film include several flashback in different styles, from slow motion to pictures from the past and I think these type and style would be appropriate for our film for the flashback at the end, when Sarah realizes that it is the penny that is lucky, and previous shots from the film are show to prove it is the coins and when it happens.

This flashback has the main character speaking over the picture explaining how he feels, and every so often flashes back to when he was a little boy to where he is dreaming and to when he if falling off the building. All this is in slow motion to create tension and atmosphere. (the flashback starts at 1:23)




The very last flashback included a mixture of pictures film, home videos all at different speeds. This is the most effective and i think we could use a similar flashback in our film.
