Trailer Analysis - The Pacifier


The Pacifier is prodcued by Adam Shankman. The trailer overall lasts for 2minutes and 23 seconds. The film is about a man who is a tough yet professional Navy S.E.A.L who has been successful in all of his missions in different parts of the globe. However his most toughest mission to date is when he has to look after a bunch of kids which he has never done before and has the added stress of having to find out where a secret project is hidden. 

The trailer has a male narrator talking over it who is mainly focused on talking about the main actor. The narrator introduces the actor with an image of him standing in front of the Navy sign. This is done so that the audiece are able to get to the character. Throughout the whole trailer the narrator talks about the main actor and fills the audience in with the characters personality. 

It starts off with the main actor being introduced about who he is and what he does as a job. He is portrayed as a tough and strict man who's life evolves around his work which is filled with action which is done by the quick scenes at the start with him swerving the car and doing dangerous missions. However he then gets a mission which is the most difficult one he has done in his life. Ironically it involves him having to take care of children which is the opposite of what he is trained for with his sensitive side having to be introduced which he himself as a character is not aware of. It then goes into a calmer mode with the comedy side of the film being shown with his parts with the kids. The narrator also stops with the serious tone and goes more hip and funny yet at all times he is still talking about him and his work. Throughout the trailer it also highlights his relationships with the children who are also part of the main plot as they help with bringing out his sensitive side. It ends with a funny moment where one of the kids is happy to get safely out of the car as he is mad driver. 

I found that this trailer was quite appealing to me and would encourage me to watch the film in cinemas. This is because I like comedy and this trailer shows the various humorous scenes so that I know that I am going to find what I want.
