We need to talk about kevin

Conventions: Traditional colours; Red, white and black. 
Overuse of red and white to link innocence murder and blood spill together. 
Gives good contrast and is relevant to storyline as a woman's son murdered the whole 
of his class in the school sports hall.
 
Ever so slight example of Intertextuality- "Phsyco" sound of running water. 
Shows hand.
 
Ending credits are styled in a mirror effect, could be linked to either contrasting

pairs "Good and evil." Or the idea of split personalities.
Doesn't follow traditional opening style; doesn't mention director or leading 
actors and doesn't have music, the opening consists of a continuous 'clicking' sound.
Which in an abstract way does create tension and a weird feel to the film which is 
different but effective.  
Opening is vague displaying really the IDENT and the title.
