Memento ia a psychological thriller film and out of all the films was the most creative and intreasting way to start a coventional thriller. It works in a non chronological and chronological order while telling both parts of the story at the same time clearling showing what happen in the past in black and white and what happening in the present in colour witch I haven seen done in any other film wich as the originality of the thriller.
staite from the of it has views confueses not wasting time on long operning title sequences such as the sixth sense but getting to the cimartography of camrea shots realy early on. It starts of with a simple photo of a bloody crime scene just taking by a camera but then all of a suden starts to fade and go in reverse all the way back to the actual shot of the camera, by doing this its aready creating a sence of tesion confuesion then soon after a nother dileama is added to to the situation as it shows who he shot but the question of the audince at this moment is why he shot him and who is he? Beforhand still sticking to the convetional thriller openiong of fast passed close up shots of radom object making he audience feel uneasy a tense.
Another thig that as a media student looking for thrillers that stand out and challeng the thriller genre, is the way the story line is set up witch is perfect for a thriller, where you have a man with aterogade amnesia with means he his unable to store new memories trying to investicate who killed hiss wife using a unque technique of using pitches and tatoos to asist and help his brain. By doing this us as the audience will find it even harder to find out clues to the hole dilemha of the films just as much as the character witch works in pefectly with the thriller genre.
A thoughtful analysis - well done Paul.
