Sound-Only Death | |
| If Anything Happens I Love You / int_18ba2fe | comment |
Sound-Only Death: The school shooting is only depicted via gunfire and screams followed by a chorus of sirens. Combined with the fact the school is never specifically named reminds viewers that this tragedy can happen in any school in the US no matter who the killer is. | |

Our Ghosts Are Different | |
| If Anything Happens I Love You / int_66479d0 | comment |
Our Ghosts Are Different: While the shadows of the parents represent their memories and emotions, the shadow of the girl is more like a ghost. She observes the distance between her parents and literally pushes them together to heal the divide. The book follow-up confirms these are their souls, and that they are "disconnected" from them. | |

Living Shadow | |
| If Anything Happens I Love You / int_ad62678e | comment |
Living Shadow: The shadows are independent of the parents and represent their emotions, showing them screaming at each other while they eat dinner in silence. Then they become more like living memories or ghosts, as the shade of the girl rises up out of the record player and joins the shadows of the parents in the memory flashbacks. | |

Splash of Color | |
| If Anything Happens I Love You / int_bbb3a5a0 | comment |
Splash of Color: Most of the film is drawn in shades of gray and black but certain important elements are in color. The color blue is associated with the girl: the blue paint she daubed on the wall, the girl's blue shirt that drives her mother to weeping after finding it in the laundry, a blue balloon and a blue "10" at the girl's last birthday party. The school shooting is not directly shown but is represented by an American flag in color hanging on the wall of the school while gunfire is heard, demonstrating the American problem of endemic gun violence. That point is further driven home when the red and blue of the flag cuts to the red and blue of police cruiser lights. | |

Limited Animation | |
| If Anything Happens I Love You / int_e034faef | comment |
Limited Animation: There is relatively little movement in the film apart from the shadows, and backgrounds are mostly void space with the minimum detail needed for the story. | |
