Openning sequence to 'Momento'

Title: Momento, 2002,
Lead actors: Guy pearce
Director: Christopher Nolan

Titles: In the openning to the film the viewer notices the opennig credits, these credits are in blue and when change of credit, it fades slowly giving a cold feeling due to the colour and transition, this could maybe give the reader an insight to what the story line of the play could be, a dark and cold play but to add effect a slowness to give emphasis. Non-digetic music is played while showing the titles, where there is an increase in volume when showing the title 'Momento'

Shots: A high angle shot in beginning showing the audience the picture the character is holding to symbolise the power the picture possess's; a low angle shot showing the dead body to emphasize the death.

Movement: There is a tracking movement of the camera when showing two characters

Generic themes: A murder has taken place. The movie starts from the end instead of the beginning( a non linear sequence ); flash backs are used to add effect.

Sound: Non-digetic music showing the tiltes; Digetic music as there's police sirens etc.

Mise-en-scene: Naturalistic as everything is proved (realistic), nothing seems to be false. For objects we see a gun and bullets lying on the floor. the picture contains a person lying dead with blood splatterd on the wall
