Memento opening scene

The opening scene in memento shows a muder in reverse. It starts of by showing the protagonist holding a photo. He waves the photo in the air several times and it becomes less developed each time. This links in very well as the film has many scenes in both chonlogical and reverse chronlogical order. I think that showing this opening scene in reverse adds a sense of enigma to the film. Lucy and I were inspired by the technique and we are planning to use it our opening scene as we think it suits the thriller genre very well as it makes the story more mysterious.
