analysis of Memento

shot 1

shot 3 

the opening scene opens with a close up shot of a polaroid of which there blood and a dead person .  the title of the film overlays on the shot  in bright blue capital letters  the non diegetic music is loud and eerie  this makes the audience feel that  something is about to take place or something terrible has happened . as the scene continues the person begins to flap around the photo as you would do normally with a polaroid however instead of the photo appearing it is disappearing this is a good use of effects and enigma as it confuses the audience because that is not what usually happens . the credits are in the centre of the shot






we later discover that everything is going backwards this confuses the audience as at first we do not realise that the clips are being rewound .

shot 4
in shot four the mans bloody face is revealed and we now see  who has been holding the camera this close up
shot shows that his face is blood this could mean that something bad has happened to him it can be linked to the picture that was taken beforehand  in the next shot we see a surplus amount of b  blood that is dripping upwards and again being reversed  it looks like part of the wall

in shot 3 is a close up shot  the man has taken a photo but has put it back into the camera  this also is a good use of enigma   as again the audience is confused .

shot 5      in shot five a close up P.O.V shot of a dead man is revealed  so far we are still oblivious  to what is going on
we could think that he has found the body
