This is not a Drill

So please may we have your attention.

What is Drill
Music?
Drill music is a style of trap music
that surfaced in the South Side
of Chicago in the early 2010s. It
is defined by its dark, violent,
nihilistic lyrical content and
ominous trap-influenced beats
which police believe to
influence young generations to
get involved with gang
violence. But not everyone
believes that its all bad news.
Younger generations would
disagree and claim that the drill
music has helped them feel less
alone by being able to relate to
some of their lyrical contents.
 Our idea is for a documentary about how people feel
about Drill Music, and if they think the genre promotes
violence in young community's or not.
For the 1st act of it we will introduce the viewers to Drill
Music, informing them on what it is and show them a series
of clips which involve gang violence that police
are claiming to be linked with the "evil" lyrical contents
within Drill Music. We shall also ask questions to investigate if
people think Drill music is main influence on the younger
generation getting involved in gangs.

In the 2nd act we will be interviewing fans and the public

Our Plan on their view on Drill Music and if they think it is effecting the
younger generation or not. We shall also be providing
audience case studies on the topic to highlight the dangers
with backed up evidence. We would really love to
interview a small Drill artist but the chances of finding one
willing to do so may be slim.
In the 3rd act we will summarise everything that the
interviewees have said along with the case studies and
evaluate our conclusion. Our plan isn't to be biased but we
will emphasize the bad that can come out of the drill music
industry. We would like to show both sides of the story and
let the viewer make their own opinion of drill music.
 Purpose

The purpose is to give an insight into the potential dangers that drill music
influences on the younger generation. There will be facts and statistics use
within the documentary, along with CCTV footage of the troubles it has possibly
caused. We will interview the public asking them about their opinions and
concerns about drill music and weather it should be censored. The drill music
industry has only surfaced recently and has already caused a lot of uproar, so
another purpose of this documentary is to give the people who are not familiar
with drill music an insight into what it is, what it often promotes, and the crimes
this genre has been linked to cause.

Why would people watch it?

 Drill music is an upcoming music genre and is very popular

with teens and young adults. So they may be intrigued by
the purpose of this documentary and possibly argue
against some views from interviewers or the police reports
we show.
 People who are curious about the topic would be
interested in seeing the insight of the genre and how drill
artists music can effect young adults and teens.
 The documentary will show the good and the dangers
of the industry. And because we want to highlight the
dangers to younger listeners, Parents may be interested to
see the dangers their child may face.
 Problems we may face while filming

 There are several problems we could face while filming our documentary but almost all of them are avoidable.

 Firstly, while filming our documentary the weather could potentially be the main problem that we could
face, heavy rain or strong winds could affect our filming and could also heavily affect our schedule. The wind
and rain could damage our filming equipment and then completely ruin our schedule. It could also ruin the set
too so for the simple reason of helth and safety the filming would have to be postponed.

 Another problem would be that if we do arrange to talk to a small drill artist for our documentary, we would
have to find a suitable day to conduct the interview on. Otherwise our interviewer may cancel on us on the
specified shooting days or the weather may be too bad to film in, leaving very little time to gather the rest of the
footage for our interview.

 Battery life does not last forever. So we need to make sure every time before we go out to film that the battery is
fully charged and that all the settings are set to what we need on the film camera. so we can capture the best
footage possible.
Target Audience
 Our target audience would be around the ages
of 16 and upward. This is because the
average age of drill music listeners. This also
includes parents because we want them to
know and be aware of the possible
dangers
 People who love Drill Music and are
interested and want to learn more about it.
Things like the good aspects and the
dangers
 People (specifically parents) who do not
know a lot about drill music but are intrigued
by the message it puts out and what
problems It can cause in young
community.
Where should it be streamed?

The perfect places for this type of documentary to be streamed on would be on a BBC
channel. We think this because they do a lot of interviews with grime and drill artists and we
think it would fit in perfectly, while still reaching its target audience.

Another place we think it could be streamed on is Netflix. This is because Netflix is a very
popular streaming site for young and old generations, again meaning that it should deliver to
its target audience.
