The use of Camera Tricks and other paratextual elements to distinguish flashbacks, flash forwards, Imagine Spots and occasionally dreams from normal, in-the-present action. These are very helpful on those occasions when there's nothing in the event itself to specify when it takes place. Common ways of doing this include: Explicitly setting the date of the scene through narration or subtitles (or text boxes in comicbooks). "Seven years ago..." Using an Idiosyncratic Wipe or Dissolve to mark the transition from Present to Past. May or may not be accompanied by a unique sound effect. One particularly common (and frequently parodied) version of this is to have the screen go wavy during the Dissolve, accompanied by the sound of harpist plucking up the whole-tone scale. Where harps are absent, the usual musical effect is tinkling glockenspiel notes played like wind chimes over string tremolos. The equal distance between notes in the whole tone scale means that it has no key, giving a feeling of ambiguity where one thing (or time) can shift into another. Repeating the last sound effect over the dissolve is also common enough to have its own article. Make the scene in the flashback look or sound different from the present in some way. Common ways of doing this include: Blurring it. Showing it Deliberately Monochrome, or more subtly tinted. For High Definition-era television shows, making the picture square, and/or adding faux-VHS artifacts and removing detail to give it a 'dated' look. Add a misty border around the edge of the screen. Apply an echo or other sound effect to everyone's voice. In animation or comics, apply an Art Shift. For books, changing the typeface. In comic books, changing the panel border style. In manga, making the negative space between panels black. A Super-Trope to Flashback... Back... Back..., Monochrome Past, Happy Flashback, and Troubled Backstory Flashback. See also Pastel-Chalked Freeze Frame. Not to be confused with Flashback Cut. |

Done in flashbacks of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, where most colors are duller than usual, the audio is often tinkered with and in the Ishbal related stuff, the eyes have a glow-y effect to them. Also, a flashback to Yoki's backstory is done in (more or less) the style of a silent film, complete with flicker, scratches, jitter, intertitles, tinny music, and the sound of a projector. |

Littlest Pet Shop (2012): "Bad Hair Day:" The trope is played with. The first time we see Blythe Eye Recall, it's actually more of an Imagine Spot that she believes is a memory than a genuine Flashback, which she then uses to assure Mrs. Twombley that she's an ace stylist. The second time, she remembers the memory unembellished, and realizes she's not the awesome stylist/groomer she believes herself. |

The "All Ghillied Up" mission Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is actually an aversion, since it plays out in full color. However, it's possible to make it Deliberately Monochrome yourself by use of the COD Noir cheat. But the mission briefing shows physical maps and B&W photos of the targets instead of the usual computer imagery. | |

The flashback to the previous film that begins Star Trek III: The Search for Spock is both inset into the black space of the frame and tinted, both explicitly identifying what's being shown as past events. Unusually, the viewer is brought into the past narrative by the inset picture slowly expanding the fill the screen and the color normalizing. | |

Parodied in the Chowder episode "The Meach Harvest", when Mung Daal freaks out at the prospect of having to make "Mince-Meach Pie". The screen starts to waver as if a flashback is about to happen, but Mung Daal interrupts it with a shout of "No, no flashbacks! It's too gruesome!" Played straight later in the episode, when the wavy effect happens uninterrupted as Mung Daal relates to Chowder and Schnitzel what happened the last time he tried to harvest meaches. | |

Boggy Creek 2: And the Legend Continues, every single flashback was slightly blurred. The Mystery Science Theater 3000 crew did not let this pass without comment. They then parodied it in one sketch, where Crow, Tom Servo, and Mike each narrate a flashback to an event that occurred seconds ago, and each flashback is blurrier than the last. | |

Gunnerkrigg Court. Flashback Cuts are represented by a sepia-toned panel inside the present-day panel. Longer, full-panel flashbacks are in color and are distinguished either by textured backgrounds, rounded panel corners, or both. When some fans thought these weren't clear enough, Tom responded with this parody.◊ A later flashback chapter has slightly desaturated/sepia-ish colors throughout. |

On Personof Interest, this trope is mixed with Color-Coded for Your Convenience. When a flashback is involves something sad, serious or involving the... work the characters were previously involved in, the colour tones are colder and blue, while happier times are generally represented by warmer tones. Specifically: Reese's flashbacks involving the CIA and his time in it are in cold blue tones, while those involving Jessica are in warmer, happier tones. Except for when he pays her widowed husband a visit in New Rochelle. Finch's flashbacks involving work on the Machine and similar things are presented in cooler tones, while those involving friendly meetings with Nathan and with Grace are in warmer colours. Again, there are exceptions, namely, the ferry bombing and its aftermath. Elias' flashbacks in Season 1 are in quite a unique tone, somehow reminiscent of the Godfather. In Season 3, as more characters are exposed through flashback, this trope is zig-zagged, but is still noticeably in play to some extent. For example, the trope seems to be non-present in: Finch's childhood, college and funeral scenes and Shaw's childhood scene but present in the flashbacks showing: the Start of Darkness of Peter Collier, Carter's flashbacks and the interrogation scenes in "The Devil's Share" (all of these are in blue tones). |

Parodied in Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode covering Boggy Creek II, when Mike finds Crow and Tom fighting but neither of them can remember why, and then Mike forgets what he was doing too. Crow decides to use a flashback like in the movie ("it was fifteen or twenty seconds ago... I remember it like it was just yesterday!") and narrates over blurry footage of Mike walking in. When Mike complains that it didn't answer any questions, Servo does his own flashback, which is even blurrier. After Mike makes an attempt, he remembers why he came onto the bridge in the first place - to get his contact lenses. | |

Irritatingly, the English dub of Sonic X added these (misty border around the edges of the screen with echoes to everyone's voice) where in the original Japanese version there were none. They did the same to Yu-Gi-Oh! and probably many other of their properties, but none as intrusively◊ as Sonic X. |

UFO (1970): The teaser for the episode "Court Martial" shows Colonel Foster being sentenced to death. The first act starts with a shimmering effect on the screen like falling water, then continues with the beginning of the events that led to the sentencing. "Do you remember the Dalotek Affair, six months ago?" The Dalotek Affair...the Dalotek Affair... |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: "The Secret of My Excess": when Rarity tells off the greedy beast dragon who's ponynapped her, he gets a look at her fire ruby. The Eye Recall happens and he is reminded how she got it — and that he, Spike, gave it to her and was rewarded with a kiss for being so generous. The recollection is enough to jar him from his greed and revert him to normal. |

Unknown (2011) features a good deal of flashbacks since it is about a guy who has a specific kind of amnesia - the kind where his identity is stolen and he can't figure out why. Being directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, expect every last trick under the "make the flashback look and sound different" category. Also, flashback sex scenes! | |

During flashback sequences in the story mode of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, a pretty cool-looking graphical effect is used that simulates grainy, sepia-tone film. This even extends to at least one gameplay battle that takes place during a flashback. In addition, the game uses stills that seem to be taken straight from the anime (with the aforementioned effect applied) for flashbacks to events from the pre-Shippuden series. | |

Mobile Fighter G Gundam might be one of the very few cases where an anime dub suffered from being TOO faithful to the original. Somehow, "You're the same as you were back then. Back then. Back then. Back then. Back then. Back then. Back then." sounds more absurd in English than in Japanese. | |

In the ElfQuest story Recognition, Brandon McKinney uses wavy borders and a "faded" effect (dark grey inked outlines rather than black) for the images for most flashbacks. Others have a shifted art style matched to the culture of the person telling the story: A style evoking stained glass windows for the medieval Europe Fantasy Counterpart Culture, and one inspired by Far Eastern brush drawings for the Mongolia/China mashup. | |

Similarly, the shots of Eddie performing "On the Dark Side" from Eddie and the Cruisers that begin the sequel, Eddie and the Cruisers 2: Eddie Lives, are inset into solid black to identify them as taking place the past. (As the action begins these images shift to the TVs mounted in a bar.
