Memento, Ellis' Homework

• At the start of the opening credits it is silent then music slowly fades in creating suspense.
• Slow, low pitched, long notes played by an organ. Then violin slowly comes in to create more tension.
• Extreme close up of a hand and a picture of  a murder scene.
• Writing is blue to make the words stand out.
• Must be going back in time because the picture is fading away.
• The crime scene is going in reverse.
• Silence and then a scream is heard.
• The audience wants to learn more and to find out who killed this man and why.
• The music is the highlight of creating suspense.
