End scene analysis


End scene:

-non-diegetic music in background at beginning of scene- lyrics; 'nobody wants me' 'I'm no-bodies'- Kevin's life surrounded by neglect/lack of authentic affection.
-medium close up of Kevin (long cut)- for first time appears timid and guilty when with his mother- shows some humility for the first time- maybe he has come to realise how wrong he was/ how much he needs/wants to be close to his mother.
-followed by long cut of close up of Eva- they have begun connecting and understanding each other- reconciliation- no longer a battle between the two.- binary opposition between the two- claustrophobic.
-close ups of both characters- creates tension/intensity- spectator gains access to their intense emotions and conversation. shots become wider when he reveals his reason for massacre- Eva finally gains answer she has desired/hes tortured her for so long- sense of relief.
-dark lighting in corners and background.
-tracking shot of Eva walking out of prison mirrors supermarket shot, as does monotonous music- relief of intensity from previous scene meeting Kevin, and the deep depth of field.
-hand held tracking shot of Eva walking towards light outside- she finally has relief- unclear ending.
-lack of sound- oppressive- nothing else to focus on apart from characters.
