English term

flashback

GBK English to Croatian Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Definition from Bedford/St. Martin's:
A narrated scene that marks a break in the narrative in order to inform the reader or audience member about events that took place before the opening scene of a work.
Example sentences:
Convoluted flashback structures are not only intellectually based, they tend to distance the viewer from that 'simple reality' they come to the movies to enjoy. It is no surprise that many great movies with complicated or innovative flashback structures were not particularly popular, not crowd-pleasers. (DVDTalk.com)
It is true that flashbacks can make the majority of the story confusing, but the concept is a bit like putting a puzzle together - you're not really sure where each piece fits or what the picture really looks like until the very end. Therein lies the payoff. (streetdirectory.com)
The flashback should be prompted by an incident, dialog, or intense action which brings a vivid memory to the character. (Helium.com)

tehnika retrospekcije

Definition from own experience or research:
Narativna tehnika kojom se publici pruža dobar uvid u radnju pisanog djela ili filma opisom događaja koji su prethodili sadašnjem trenutku i koji su vitalni za osnovnu strukturu priče. Ovo se postiže ili prikazom kronologije događaja, ili refleksijom svijesti datog junaka i njegovog unutarnjeg monologa.
Example sentences:
No nema smisla pisati dalje o predstavi kao nekoj apstraktnoj strukturi, koja odlično kombinira kazalište s filmskom tehnikom retrospekcije (flashback); ili prijeći na moćnu, a tako, s nekoliko čistih poteza, jednostavnu scenu (Thomas Mika) koja se onda projekcijom rasplinjuje u nježni unutarnji svijet, negdje među laticama, a ne naglasiti njezinu najvažniju dimenziju – likove. (kulisa.eu)
U svijesti glavnoga lika pratimo tehnikom filmske retrospekcije njegovo preispitivanje vlastitih postupaka u proteklim zbivanjima, a ujedno lik se nalazi u grozničavu traganju za spašavanjem poljuljane ravnoteže životne uhodanosti. (Matica Hrvatska)
