Choice of genre

My trailer idea was inspired by 'The Social Network' which is a drama. This helped me decide very quickly that my trailer should be a drama as well.

Dramas are serious, plot-driven presentations, portraying realistic characters, settings, life situations, and stories involving intense character development and interaction. Usually, they are not focused on special-effects, comedy, or action, Dramatic films are probably the largest film genre, with many subsets. Other types of drama include historical dramas, romantic dramas or crime dramas. At the centre of a drama is usually a character or characters who are in conflict at a crucial moment in their lives. Dramas often, but not always, have tragic or at least painful resolutions and concern the survival of some tragic crisis, like the death of a family member. Some of the greatest screen performances come from dramas, as there is ample opportunity for actors to stretch into a role that most other genres cannot afford. In this case my trailer is just about decision making and if this teenager is willing to see him billion dollar idea to a stranger he hasn't built trust with yet.
