Memento, 15



Memento is a thriller film rated 15 and made by Nolan.
There is many conventions in this film which make it a thriller film and not a horror film as violent things happen which we cannot see and we can only get clues as to why this happened such as:
  • Neagtive effects at the start
  • close up of someone holding a photograph
  • slow but loud continuous depressing music
  • black out when the man gets shot
  • violence straight away
  • tension is built up by the music
  • shock when he got hit

There is also:
  • sound of police sirens, show violence, but we cant see it happening
  • depressing music
  • close up of someone holding a photograph with blood on
  • blood on mans face with a gun in his hand
  • black out when the man gets shot
  • close up of the man laying on the floor
  • blood on the man laying on the floor
  • blood on the floor, but we do not see how it gets there which shows it is a thriller and not a horror
  • close up of blood dripping down a wall shows violence
  • the film shows clips of what has already happened pr what hasnt happened to make the viewer want to carry on watching
