Walk the Line Trailer

The teaser trailer from Walk the Line conveys many of the typical conventions we are looking to use in our own teaser for example:

Motion picture association always appears before the trailers footage starts to play.
Production logo and company name appears shortly after the motion picture association dissapears.
For this trailer graphics are used to explain some of plot line such as "Rock & Roll hall of fame" appears telling the veiwer that this will be a film about some sort of musician.
After graphics a short monolouge is said by a random character which puts the trailer into perspective that this is a struggling muscian trying to break the industry by attempting to get a record deal.

Quick editing is used such as short cuts of footage the main character performing (happy) and as the shots progress his nature seems to quickly deteriorate. Much sweating comes with this suggesting possible durg use within the film. It would seem the main character gains fame and with this has the attitude of a bachelor sleeping with many different women behind his wifes back.

Fame seems to go to his head immediatly and he soon has a come down which brings his nick-name "The Man In Black" which is a pictation of who he becomes inside a dark man, fuelled by sorrow and driven by rage.
