Review of Camera Angles in "Inside Out" 2015Quarter one week three & four
Produced by Jonas Rivera and Pete Docter
I chose the movie inside out because I love light hearted animations. I also chose this because camera angles are found in animations even though technically there is no "camera". The Producers use the camera angles through animation to bring out emotion of effect. Therefore, choosing this animated movie will help me better pick out camera angles and help me study them and how their used in a movie like "Inside Out"
The first shot I chose was an establishing shot. The establishing shot I chose helps us understand Riley, the main character's emotion when seeing her new home. The shot of her dull city home seems quite disappointing compared to her old home, and what she had imagined when on her way to San Francisco. This establishing shot helps the viewer understand how Riley feels in this situation, which fuels the upcoming scenes.
This high angle shot is a tear jerker. As Riley's imaginary friend is fading from her memory, this high angle shot is used because "Bing Bong" is in the memory dump, also the lowest part of her brain. Therefore, the high angle shot is almost mandatory to show off the fact that he is being forgotten far down in her brain. It also better shows the process of him being forgotten. This shot was definitely the saddest part of the movie, and is a prime example of how producers use angles and different aspects in a movie to evoke emotion.

The next shot I picked was an over the shoulder shot. As the characters are deforming, a shot over Joy's shoulder appears. I like this shot because it shoes the effect on the panic in this scene. even though joy was focusing on the other characters, Joy was still present in the scene to add emphasis on their distorted form. The characters were panicking because they feared something will happen to Riley if they are distorted, the over the shoulder shot was a good way of showing this.
This shot is a point of view shot. As Riley is planning to sneak past her mom this suspicious shot of her going down her stairway is shown. This shot puts emphasis on Riley's upcoming sneaky and ominous actions. The dark staircase is a good way to represent what Riley is up to. This shot is the most dark and eerie shot of the whole movie, which foreshadows what happens at the end of the movie when she decides to run away. This shot was really creative and makes a big difference in this scene.
This shot is a close up shot of Sadness turning memories blue. This shot is important because the process of the memories turning blue changes the whole movie drastically. Making this shot a close up makes the moment more dramatic and impactful. It also shows the process of the memory turning blue a lot more detailed than shown previously in the movie.
