Thriller openings

Memento

  • This film has an extremely difficult narrative structure where events are told in 10 minutes segments but backwards.
  • The echoes the confusion that the main character feels as he struggles to remember events.

  • Conventions  - cliffhanger, reverse, suspense, tension, enigma
  • camera - close up of man, kegs, hanger, showing room, close up of photo
  • sound - depressing, dialogue man confused, Lenny happy making jokes, man doesn't remember.
  • mise-en-scene - photo with blood, colour of photo changes and vanishes. camera, window of car blocked , man has something written in his hand.
