In the full length version of the opening sequence it begins with credits of cast and crew, the credits fade in from a light blue t0 dark, the fade connotes life to death, light to darkness. The title 'Memento' appears just before the image of the polaroid photo appears, the title therefore introduces the character, story and relates to the initial image of a physical memento (photograph). The development of the polaroid as it is shaken is in reverse order, which is the initial indicator to the audience that the film runs in a backwards order rather than what we usually expect in a film.
The colour blue which is used for the opening credits is a colour scheme that runs continually throughout the film, this use of colour could connote the main characters deep emotion and confusion.
