Memento Analysis

Memento.
Discussing different films in groups,
The opening title sequence for memento seemed to be quite dramatic. The opening title's seemed to fade in and out creating a mysterious affect, making us want to know what will happen next. There is also a use of camera shots which show us the emotion in both characters, there is the extreme close up which shows me what the character might be feeling or their eyes could show some sort of story. However during the beginning of the title sequence everything gets rewound backwards, this can be confusing but could show a brief glimpse of what might happen at the end of the film. There were also a few other elements used such as gunshots, photographs + bullets.
When viewing the title sequence, there are two main parts of feedback, being shocked and being curious, the viewers would be shocked/confused as to why the film would be going backwards and curious as to why the victim was shot. Overall the beginning creates confusion.
