Rewind/flashback idea for project

Within our project we have decided to incorporate a flashback scene. A flashback is where you are either shown the present or future first and then after the sequence has ended then it'll 'flashback' to what happened before the scene occurred. An example of this would be in the film 'Shutter Island' it goes back to a previous memory that the character had had such as his childrens and wifes death.
Here is a clip of one of the flashbacks from Shutter Island, before the scene we see 'Teddy' in the present but then it goes back to this scene which is from his past of when he fought in the war:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaibdORJHi4&feature=related

In order to make ours more obvious that it was a flashback we decided to run through the present sequence and then at the end rewind the whole lot so that its like you are going back in time. This will help illustrate the fact that its a flashback but also make it more unique and interesting.

feedback from Q1-10

camera angles:
close up, was effective because it added suspense.
long shot, which added mystery because it never shows the characters face

mise-en-scene:
the lighting was good because it was used to keep the characters identity a mystery
the props used were good because they looked realistic and were used effectively.
there was never shown a person so there was little costume
the location and time were both good because they were used in an effective way which added suspense, intrigue and fit the genre

editing:
transitions were used not very effectively, there was one good point were the clip suddenly stopped creating a blunt frame set in the video. this added suspense for the audiences experience, kudos!
slow pace adds suspense also, keeps mystery.

sound:
mostly diegetic, adds realism

need to improve effects

Rough cut
