In the preproduction of my scene I looked at stills from various films, firstly I rewatched Memento to look at the colour scheme, The film is quite high key in most areas

These are then offset but the flash back scenes which are in black and white, I decided that I wanted my scene to be quite dim and bland since the main locations would be  a run down home and hotel.

I made a mood board of the colour scheme I wanted in my project, these were mainly low saturation shots, with maybe a small splash of colour.

I also wanted to have a few Close Ups or Extreme Close up shots of Leonards face and eyes as he struggles not to forget, I thought that watching his eyes as they change from frustration to confusion would be a nice touch.

I also want to get a close up of a clock, I like the idea of Ticking distracting Leonard or almost luring him into a trance making him forget the past few minutes. The ticking also represents the urgency of his situation, perhaps contrasting his frantic searching with a steady constant ticking.
