Peer flashback idea

Talking with some of my peers today in class, someone had mentioned that I should incorporate flashbacks throughout my film opening instead of it being chronological. They mentioned that the very first scene of the film opening should be when after the victim is kidnapped and put in a white random room (which will be Arianas closet) that the victim should look down at her scars, and try to remember how she even got them, and her trying to remember will "flashback" to the scenes of her at the woods. After showing my classmates what I have filmed so far, they mentioned that instead of having the scenes leading up to the kidnapping, (like the dialogue and the part where the murderer is looking and walking up to the victim) they feel as if it will take up too much time. I REALLY like this idea and will have to talk with my partner about it when she comes back from her college tour. Actually, this idea of the flashbacks is great because we already have the shots of the victim running from the murderer, so all we would have to do is intertwine those shots in between other shots of the victim looking down at her cuts and bruises from the woods scene. So each injury that she has gotten, she "looks back" and remembers exactly how she got them in the woods, which are the scenes we already have. My classmates also mentioned how in the end of the opening (where the victims mom is stapling the missing person picture of her daughter on a tree) should have the murderer there with the victims mom. I kind of like that idea because it is more entertaining and shocking by seeing the murderer physically with the mom, knowing exactly that she is the main cause of everything.
