Is Memento A Good Opening Sequence?

Memento proves to be a good opening sequence as it calms the audience whilst they are waiting to watch the rest of the film. The simple font title and soft music allow the audience to have time to emerge themselves in the opening and prepare for what is coming up. Once the music gains pace the audience will feel tense and anxious however this is the thrill to a thriller, if the audience experience this they will automatically be intrigued in the film. The close up is also makes it a good opening sequence as it doesn’t reveal to the audience who the person is and why they are at the murder straight away, this would cause the audience to want to watch more of the film to gain the knowledge of who the person is and why they are there.
