Colour & Aesthetics

In 'We Need To Talk About Kevin', her flashback imagery is brutally evocative of the gorier parts of the film, and so the colours and the feelings they evoke make the aesthetics particularly powerful.

The difference between dream and reality should be heightened so that tone is established clearly through colour.

The dream sequence should be full of light and a covered with a gauzy veil of warm, almost psychedelic colour. It will seem as if all senses are heightened, and so Margot's dreamy encounter with Eva is still intense.

However the awake aspects of Margot's life are dull in contrast, possibly tinged with monotonous, gloomy blue.
