Why We Are Doing A Remake

We doing a remake of the opening to the film Memento. We believe that by making this remake we can learn more about types of camera and technology that we will be using for our final piece, so this may further our knowledge into the technology to make our final film opening to look smooth and as real as possible.We also wanted to see what kind of shots will be used for a thriller and see what we can take forward to our piece, we can see from this that many close ups are used and this will be something we must consider. We also wanted to remake this film because we believed it may give us some ideas that we could use for our real film opening. Firstly we wanted to see what generic conventions would be used, as this is a thriller we would expect some mystery and maybe some form of weapon, which we do, the music gives off this eerie feel to the audience and also we see the man use a gun, the fact it all is edited backwards makes it even more mysterious to the audience. Something we really wanted to concentrarte and learn from making this remake was how the titles are integrated to the piece, we see that the titles are place directly infront of the camera so the audience can see but they then go away halfway through and let the scene play out, I believe that if we do make a thriller this is something we will take forward and use.
