Director of independant US films: Christopher Nolan
One of his films that he has made is memento. (I do realise that there is no young protagonist in this film, but it is us and is an independant film, so therefore does fit the brief in some aspects)
Plot:A man, suffering from short-term memory loss, uses notes and tattoos to hunt for the man he thinks killed his wife.
Below is the opening sequence to memento, i am going to analyse it and state what titles appear within the sequence.
This sequence is very simple, yet very effective. The main idea behind this sequence is a man (detective) of some sort, or thats what i can make out from this opening. All that is occouring is the man is shaking the single photos in order to process them (make the imeage appear) this type of action works very well with the way in which the titles appear, which is they fade in, alsmost intime with the appearing photos.
The titles have been placed on the screen so that they are very eailiy visable and easy to see, with the white back ground on the photos, and even when the pictures / photos appear the titles are still very easy to read, this is mainly due to both the background itself and the font / colour used on the titles.
The titles (in running order) that show within this opening sequence are:
