Memento Title Sequence
Memento is very much the complete opposite of a conventional thriller title sequence. It does not feature any expected features, such as theatre of the mind. What is shown is a consistent blue background -- computer generated imagery. This opposes the typical display of realism in thrillers, quite clearly illustrating that the background is not real. Similarly, the music is contrasting to what we should expect from a thriller. It boasts quite high-pitched, soft piano music, creating no suspense whatsoever -- conflicting a thriller's usual bass-noted, string-based tense style. Finally, the text features no distinct or unnerving features, it is simple, plain and consistent, in a sensible font.
By this description, the sequence is most certainly completely unaffective as a thriller title sequence. In my opinion I would consider it a poor title sequence regardless, it is bland and reveals nothing, nor creating any interest in what's the come at all.
