Pitch 1
Brits Abroad – Never Gonna Give EU Up
This will be a social documentary style online journalism piece. The project will be shot in Tenerife during the Easter break the 3rd of `April to the 17th of April. The 12 photographs will be split between candid photographs of stereotypical British tourist activities on holiday in a hot country, and close up shots of service industry workers in Tenerife.
I aim to highlight the disparities between the British tourists, how they act and the people that are serving them abroad. With Tenerife being an EU country the interviews I conduct with both the tourists and the workers will focus not only around typical tourist culture but also around the ongoing situation with Brexit how that has affected EU workers as well as travel. I believe this can be a satirical look on how the irony of voting in Brexit when travelling to EU and the interviews can highlight how people don’t fully understand the intrici’s of Brexit and how that can affect work and holidays. With the mix between interviews of workers with the ‘brits abroad’ style photographs the project will have elements of comical satire and serious social commentary. The project will include 12 photos and 2000 words.
