analysing the opening sequence of memento

The film starts of with a medium close up a poloroid picture that is developed and slowly begins to fade this gives the viewer connotations of a loss of memory whilst this is happening the credits are playing .

after this the whole scene looks like it is being rewound and then there are various close ups of objects like a bullet .Then you here a gun shot then it goes in to a black an white scene of the man in a room . After this the colour comes in and the actual story starts s already by this short 3 mins of film we can deduce as an audience that the film is not going in chronological order and probably starts with a flash back . furthermore the colour of the credits are blue which gives connotations of a cold nature and the man in the film might be cold hearted .

also the sounds in the film where a mixture of non diegetic and diegetic.

THIS FILM WAS MADE IN 2002 BY A DIRECTOR CALED CHRISTOPHER NOLAN
