The following film me and and my group analyzed was called MEMENTO, the word memento could be defined as someone keeping something an object so they can have memory of it such as taking a piece of rock from a pond so it would remind you always about that pond when you look at the object, so therefore this film could be about a specific character which has a short memory loss and has to have some sort of object to remind him what he done the previous day.
MEMENTO starts of with a blank background this is whereby the titles are presented to the audience in a plain background, in this case it is a black background with the font being blue, soon after wen come across narrative opening this is whereby the opening scene is occurring but the titles are still coming up, after the titles have all been presented the character sakes a picture 3 times and ever time he keeps waving it, it becomes more undeveloped then we as the audience realise somethings not right here, and then at the minute 2:05 we notice that the opening scene is going backwards therefore giving the audience a clear idea who the person that suffers from Long Term Memory due to him being the person that is taking the picture so it is him who is suffering from this illness therefore he takes picture as MEMENTO of what he done the previous day month etc.
