momento opening sequence analysis.

The opening sequence of memento shows good use of cinematography as it uses lots of extreame close ups to limit what the audience forcing them to draw conclusions as to what has happend and why they are being ahown these images. at the start of the memento clip we are shown quite a graphic photo of what we suspect is a murder. strait away this causes the viewer to ask questions like why is he dead? what reason do they have for needing him dead? who killed him? ect.

The editing in this clip is very slow paced editing throughout the clip. Very quickly the veiwer should realise that the shot are being shown in reverse, this would have been added in post production, they would have done this to make the audience feel uneasy about the situation that has been presented in front of them.The titles in this opening sequence are blue this connotes that the film is of a cold and unforgiving nature, the font that they use in this film is a serif font they would use this to show the seriousness of the film.

The mise en scene in this opening sequence tells us that the man that has killed the man is very professional we know this because he is dreassed in a suit and seems confident when killing the othere man, he shows no sign of remorse, he could possibly be a hired assissin as he takes a photograpgh of his kill as proof, this is where the title momento comes from as he could be taking these photos as a momento of his kills.
