A flashback is an interjected scene that takes the narrative back in time from the current point in the story. Flashbacks are often used to recount events that happened before the story's primary sequence of events to fill in crucial backstory.
Flashbacks are a key signature of the hit US TV show Lost. In every episode there is a fragment where a character remembers something from their past and it shows the audience how they got to the island. Flashbacks are useful because they allow the audience to see into a characters past and allows any loose ends to be tied up within the narrative.
