Analyzing memento.

Next lesson we analyzed Memento directed by Guy Pearce and again talked about it and what we found effective.





Titles:They were presented firstly with the credits against a black background with suspenseful music, the black background fades into the first scene .
It also begins with a close up of a Polaroid picture which close ups then fades out, again this adds intensity and maked reference to maybe a loss of memory or knowledge.
Shots:Medium close up shots of a bullet, gun and wall, this again creates that intense atmosphere. Voyeristic shot makes u feel like you are invading the privacy of this character and that you shouldn't be there, which makes the audience uncomfortable.
The narrative was disordered to allow us to go back where we the story began, and from this the audience can infer that the story is not going to be in chronological order and maybe reflect on what the characters mind is like.
Mise-en-scene:Just a hand and a photo in the shot creates intensity. Black and white shot shows he's confused and disorientated.
