Choice of genre- Drama/ Biography

The Social Network is my inspired trailer and I will need to make my trailer showing a Modern Biography Drama genre.
Drama Genre:
A drama film is a film genre that depends mostly on in-depth development of realistic characters dealing with emotional themes.
Dramatic themes such as alcoholism, drug addiction, moral dilemmas, race, religion, poverty, class divisions, violence against women and corruption put the characters in conflict with themselves, others and society.
This is the most broad of movie genres and includes subgenres such as romantic drama, sport films, period drama, courtroom drama and crime.
A drama is usually a character or characters that are in conflict at a crucial moment in their lives. They often revolve around families and ask big questions and touch on the deepest emotions of normal people. Dramas often, but not always, have tragic or at least painful resolutions and concern the survival of some tragic crisis. Some of the greatest screen performances come from dramas, as there is opportunity for actors to stretch into a role that most other genres cannot afford.

Biography Genre:

A biography is a detailed description or account of someone's life. Biography also portrays the subject's experience of those events. Unlike profile, a biography presents the subject's life story, highlighting various aspects of his or her life, including intimate details of experience, and may include an analysis of the subject's personality. Biographical works are usually non-fiction, but fiction can also be used to portray a person's life.
