2 person conversation

2 character conversation with flashbacks

What is the aim of a 2 person conversation?

A film maker uses a two person conversation to show the relation between the 2 characters or highlighting important points or moving the narrative forward these are some of the most common reasons to include this.

why include a flashback?

The reason a film maker may use a flashback is to create a visual image of an event happening and this is more interesting than just watching to people talking with each other. This also follows the Rule: show, don't tell

For example:

The water horse - 0:00 - 2:30 

In this flashback the film maker is trying to make the audience sympathise with the character and create true sadness within the scene 

Family Guy - 0:00 - 0:38

In this flashback the film maker is trying to make the audience see the humour within the scene
