Romantic Comedy Trailers - 'Meet the Fockers'

The third trailer I am going to analyse for my chosen genre is:

Meet The Fockers

 

  • Universal Production company logo - common production company for rom-coms
  • High-key lighting
  • Pretty, scenic images
  • Ben Stiller starring - an actor associated with comedy and rom-coms
  • Family-centred 
  • Slow fades in editing
  • Switch from calm music to comedic music when introducing main character's parents to his future father-in-law, whom he is trying to impress
  • Overly affectionate dad met with a cold and stern dad - contrasts are typical of the genre as they provided opportunity for comedy through conflict
  • Mother of Ben Stiller's character is a sex therapist who specialises in senior sexuality, which creates a funny running joke as Ben Stiller is trying to keep that a secret from his fiancé's parents (who ironically, haven't had sex in a while)
  • Embarrassing situations for Ben Stiller's character initiated by his quirky parents
  • Wedding conflict between parents 
  • Pauses for comedic effect
