AS Opening Sequence Inspiration

One of the most significant opening sequences my group analysed was 'Momento'. We all agreed that we liked all of the elements it contained. For example, the only way in which the characters are introduced to the audience in the film is through pictures of them. We thought this would be a good idea for us to do as we were trying to leave the audience in suspense and wanting to watch on to find out more. Therefore by only briefly showing them to the audience they would be left challenging their minds wondering who these characters are and what their role is in the narrative.

Another element we liked was the non diegetic sound of characters speaking from the past. Again, this added to the element of suspense as we were not able to see the actions of these charcters but we were ony able to hear them.

We therefore incooperated these ideas into our opening sequence as we too did the same and introduced the charcters through pictures and also had non diegetic sound from the past.
