1. What is told to the audience?
The only thing that it shows is a man as been shot and another man is taking a picture of him. However, all this section is shown backwards. You get to meet two characters in the first few minutes. However, the man taken the picture is shown to be that bad person and the man being shot, to be just an innocent victim. So in the first few minutes, not a lot has been told to the audience.
2. What is conventional?
- The main convention of Memento is that in the first few minutes, is there are more questions are asked than been answered
- There is non-diegetic sound over the action which adds suspense to the action
- The main characters were introduced
- Sting music used to create tension
- The main man is wearing a wedding rain which suggests that he his a normal/average man
3. What is unconventional?
- It is going in a backwards order.
4. How has it inspired me?
I like the idea of no dialogue being used and the audience just getting a feel for the film from just the actions. I also like the idea of the scene going backwards as it is different and no other film does this. However, I don't think I would like to use this in our thriller as its to unique.
