Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of movie trailers is to engage and excite a potential audience prior to the release of the audiovisual production. Methodology: This study evaluated how the visual and narrative elements of the "Inside Out 2" trailer influence visual attention and evoke emotions in viewers. Based on the methodological proposal of Villegas (2023), a mixed methodology was used that collected quantitative data obtained through the FaceReader version 9.1 device, and qualitative data from questionnaires to 25 university students. Results: The results provide an empirical basis whose value lies in the possibility of developing marketing strategies focused on cinema and the achievement of more effective trailers. Discussion: The use of devices such as FaceReader, provide high reliability in the reading of emotions and independent productions can use the information to generate a greater emotional impact in search of commercial success. Conclusions: It is important to complement the analysis of emotions with other devices and other qualitative tools in order to obtain greater understanding and reliability so that filmmakers can generate effective promotional strategies together with marketing teams.
