This document is a treatment form for a factual production project about drum and bass music.

Working Title
Drum and Bass
Summary of topic
My topic is about drum and bass and all the top
artists and songs throughout the years. I will
also be doing a timeline for it and including
interviews with DJs etc.
Why this topic/subject
I chose to do a fanzine on drum and bass music
because I have an interest in music, specifically
this genre of music and I go to lots of raves
where they play this music live for you to listen
to.
What is the purpose of this project, or what is
the point of it?[you can phrase this as a point to
get across, a central argument, etc] The purpose of this is for people who enjoy
listening to this genre of music get to read about
this project and learning more about the music
and where and when it came about. I chose to
do this project as I want more people who
haven’t heard or wouldn’t want to listen to the
music learn more about it.

Intended audience and how are you designing
your project to appeal to that audience –
reference stylistic choices and intentions here
My intended audience is people over the age of
18 and people who enjoy and attend raves and
listen to this genre of music.
Intended contributors [who will you interview,
talk to, etc]
I am going to be interviewing an aspiring DJ who
mixes drum and bass music who has also
performed for an audience.
Sources for visual materials [this is photos,
footage, images, etc you intend to use on the
project – remember ALL WORK SHOULD BE
ORIGINAL or from appropriate archive sources
this means photos/footage you don’t own must
be modified to your own style and output i.e.
rotoscoping photos, etc]
The photos I will include in my is the raves that I
have taken myself of the crowd and the DJ set. I
will also take photos of the person I choose to
interview and include that.
Outline structure for project [for video this
could be a sectioned breakdown with general
timing such as intro, interview, montage, etc for
Fanzine this could be page breakdowns from
pg1 to pg 12]

How does your chosen medium/format link to
your specialism?
My chosen medium is a fanzine which is print
based so that links to my specialism as I want to
work in the print medium and I will also be
doing something that involves print for my
