From watching the opening sequence of 'Momento', I could tell it was a thriller straight away. The music as it starts, indicates some sort of illusion and gives of an Sci-fi effect due to the split screens. The 'gun shot' which got really loud when it occurred made it more effective and the 'body bag' and 'blood' on the floor straight away portrays possible a horror, with the scene ending with a live person in a body bag is quite alienating and stylistically using thriller conventions. It in a way reminds me of the 'Seven' opening with the rush and amount is going on at one throughout, it was really rushed and chaotic. The use of it being chaotic makes us realize what the rest of the film will be like, and prepares us of the eeriness. The color of the trailer and grayness creates a depressing deathly vibe, and the use of no color makes it feel un-joyful. The vicerol made it unpleasant to watch and this contributed with the man in the trailer constantly hanging up on the phone calls.
