Meet The Fockers is a sequel to the successful Meet the Parents which was a funny, family film. The sequal is likely to have a similar genre and characters which tyou are familiar with so that it ensures as much success that the 1st movie had.
The main image is of the mother and father of both sides of the couple. They are on seperate sides to show the contrast of personalities that they have and the wondering factor of will they get along with eachother or will they hate eachother. You can see form the father of the brides side his face looks like the picture has been force taken and that he really doesnt want to be there but it shows he cares for his daughter and highlightes the main theme of the film which is family and the picture is photo framed which gives it a home feel because it looks like it is stuck on the wall of a home.
Ben Stiller is known for his comedy acting and is cuurently a famous actor. He is normally invovled in family comedies and plays a husband or a father, so the type of audience he attracts are the ones who are likely to watch this film such as families and people who enjoy comedies. He also plays in a leaind family role to relate to leading family members who are watching this film. This creates a sense of identification from the character to the audience, this draws the audience in more and gets them interested in the film.
The cat and the dog are walking on the mantle peice with a delecate vase in between them which is about to fall over. This could connote tradgedy but in a funny way because they are animals and looks like there will be small mistakes made to the disadvanteage of Ben Stiller or the father of the bride as their faces are the only ones whcih are not smiling in the family photo.
The women are represented as happy smiling people and their faces show they are content despite unhappiness of the two men. It makes them independant and care free and they are not worrying too much about the men however Ben Stiller dad is also smiling like the women which could suggest that the father of the bride is harder to please rather than the father of the groom whcih is a typical stereotype when a man is marrying a women.
The names of the actors are put at the bottom of the image.They are all well known actors and the names do not correspond with the person they are below, this shows that people know who these actors are and will watch the film based on the actorsthat are in it and not for the story line or the genre
