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
