SRH923:
In creatives, are flashbacks really needed or does it just ruin the excitement of the 'now' in the creatives?

You can use them if it suits! I used them in my Creative and they worked well, but it depends on the story you are trying to tell ;D

Of the mannnny creatives I've given feedback to on ATAR Notes, less than 25% use flashbacks. So no, not "really needed" but can definitely be a device you employ.

My teacher likes it due to the sophistication and how masterfully it can contribute to a piece if utilised well but I myself rarely use it and do fine.

Crabstickz:
Do you have any tips on how to approach flashbacks without becoming confusing the marker with the timelines in your story?
