The fabula (russian term for order of the film) for the film was devised after an article read by andy Klein in Salon magazine who suggested using the numbers 1-22 for the black and white clips and using letters A-V for the colour clips to be shown in reverse. the chapters of the film are put together into the chronological order and is shown: Ending Credits (run in reverse), 1, 2, 3, ..., 22, A, B, ..., V, then the opening title runs "backward" to what was shown (the opening title sequence is run in reverse during the actual film).
This is a Timeline image i found on hedgecockfamily.blogspot.com, of the opposing sequences in Memento, B&W vs. Colour and also Fabula (order of the film) vs. Sujet (presentation of the film)
