Analysis of film opening

Memento
conventions
camera
at the very fist sequence of the film a character has a photograph in his hand, the camera shot is a close up to put all the attentio on the photo that this character is holding. this close up shot does not change through out the opening scene
editing

sound
during the first sequense there is only non diegetic sound. this convays a feeling of mystery, the smooth sound of string instruments makes the atmosphere a little on edge already
mise en scene
as the first scene progresses the character holding the photograph begins to shake it, as he does this the image in the photograph starts to fade instead of becoming clearer until the image disappears
