Documentary Film Pitch

 Theme: Vote in Argentina at the age of sixteen years old

What is the story?

We will do a documentary about a socio/cultural issue which is affecting us now days. The issue is the vote in Argentina at the age of sixteen years old.

There was a new law in 2013 which stated that 16 years old teenagers were allowed to vote at the next elections. Not everyone in the country was in favour of this decision, so we want to listen different opinions.

Why we are doing it?

We choose this issue because it concerns us today and because we want to know peoples different opinions. There were too many conflicts in society before approving this law and we want to hear their thoughts.

How we will do it?

We will go out to the streets and ask people of different ages this question, “Are you against or in favour of the vote at 16? Why do you think that this law was approved?” We will film them talking in Spanish and then add subtitles in English so other people can understand it. We will use a Canon T2i Camera with an 18-55 lens and a 55-250 lens.  

Our roles are:

Camera Operator: Delfina Carrascal

Director: Mariana Iriso

Editor: Felipe Gorostiaga

Sound Designer : Juan Lopez
