Inside Out - Film Trailer

The opening to this trailer starts of as a long shot of a family sat down having dinner. The sound starts off diegetic as the mum and the daughter are having a conversation about the first day of school. The characters are animated suggesting that this film is going to be aimed at a younger audience however will have to contain some comedy to engage the families who will be taking the children. There is then a voice over which says "do you ever look at someone and wonder what's going on inside their head?" just as this is said, the camera moves as though we are travelling to the mind of the mum. We are then introduced to five different characters inside the mind of the mum. These are all different colours; blue to connote sadness, red to connote anger and green to connote jealousy. All of these characters are sat behind a control desk suggesting that each emotion controls what the person does. The blue character says "signal the husband" as the camera moves out of the mums mind and into the dads. He again has the same five characters in his mind but a male version. His emotions are all watching football suggesting that he isn't paying attention to the conversation happening at the table. A close up is shown of the characters shown in the dads mind as they try and guess what the mum is wanting. Each tone of voice is different as when the emotions in the mums mind are talking anger seems to have more of a harsh tone. The camera then pans into the child's mind where she has the same emotions but just a younger version. The audience see the green character, through a close up shot, press a button, suggesting that she is controlling what she is saying. A close up is shown of the mum asking if the child, Riley, is okay. The camera then cuts to Riley, who roles her eyes. The red emotion (anger) is the one in charge of the dads mind because of how he tells each of the other emotions what to do. Throughout all of this the non diegetic music in the background is fast paced, like the editing. We then see the emotions inside the child's mind, where anger starts getting mad at the dad. He then presses the buttons on the control panel to make Riley say something. The camera then cuts to a close up of Riley so that the audience become aware of what anger made her say. Anger in the dads mind is then shown, instructing the other characters to do something. A close up of the alarm is shown which is flashing suggesting that the dad is becoming angry. Again, the camera cuts to a close up of the dad so that the audience know what the dad is saying. A close up of the anger emotion is shown with heat waves coming from his head suggesting that he is getting annoyed. The anger inside the dads mind is preparing to tell the child off by telling the other characters what to do. Anger inside Riley's mind has flames from his head suggesting that Riley is becoming aggravated by the conversation and he then pushes leavers up to trigger Riley to say something. The camera then pans out into a close up of Riley where she shouts at her dad. The camera then shows a long shot of the family so that the audience can see the reaction of the mum and dad. The scene then cuts to anger inside the dads mind where he presses the button. The camera then shows what that made the dad do. He tells Riley to go to her room. The camera then cuts to a close up of Riley to show her reaction to this, in which she looks quite shocked. Next, all five of the emotions are shown where they say it could have been a disaster. The scene cuts to the emotions inside the mums mind where the blue character says that it was a disaster. The screen then goes black and has all of the film titles that the producers have made before. As they are on here, the audience will know them and so will be further engaged to go and see it as they recognise the titles. Finally, it ends with the title of the film to show the audience what the trailer was for.
