'MEMENTO' By Christopher Nolan
In this scene you see the close ups of various objects such as a photograph, a pair of glasses and a bullet. These shots could be symbolise the character taking mental pictures as the shot is a still close-up of the objects.
Also this thriller opening is effective because it plays with the narrative order. The photograph fades away which could symbolise the characters memory fading away.
Furthermore this scene gives a sense of suspense and anticipation as there is no dialogue. Thjis allows us as an audience to concentrate more on the visuals.
In addition the scene is set in a dark dingy room to give a sense of mystery. Also there are shadows on the man's face which sets the tone ofthe film as being dark and sinister.
