Memento
This is the title sequence of Memento. A 2001 movie directed by Christopher Nolan.
For this title sequence, I was inspired by Saul
Bass cut-out design style. I aimed to capture
the essence of the movie by depicting the
main character’s photos that get dispersed
by a pair of black hands to symbolize the
attack that lead to the main character’s
memory loss. I mainly use polaroid pictures,
and character’s torso with movie credits
on it as tattoos, to convey the story.
As they
both are the ways that the main character
retain the information. I also use opacity
with randomizer effect on type that appears
on the bottom of the polaroid frames to
allude to the character’s memory loss. By combining the photographs, images and
type, I aimed to make a solid and cohesive
title sequence that creatively capture the essence of the movie without revealing too
much about it.
