Flashforward

/ˈflæʃˌfɔrwərd/ noun

Definition

A scene in a movie, book, or show that jumps ahead in time to show what happens in the future.

Etymology

Compound of 'flash' (sudden, quick) and 'forward' (toward the future). Coined in the 20th century as a film technique term, modeled on the earlier 'flashback.'

Kelly Says

Flashforwards are the opposite of flashbacks and can totally mess with your sense of time in storytelling—shows like 'Lost' and 'Game of Thrones' used them brilliantly to create suspense by showing you where someone ends up before explaining how they got there.
