I propose, using the conventions of narrative film as seen in Bruce Parry’s BBC Tribe, to create a parody of the series, focusing on students as the tribe.
My film will include cinematic conventions, so lighting (natural unconstructed) camera angles ( low angles mainly handheld) and sound (interviews and music) to create my parody. Sound will be especially important to creating the Tribal feel, so i will be uses extracts from African villages and composing my own music using indigenous instruments such as the didgeridoo, djembe and kalimba to create an atmosphere.
The program will also subvert certain parts of the parody, which mirrors what has been criticised in other contemporary Anthropological programs, which are often cited as misrepresenting the tribe.
Importantly this project will have its scene planned around the “5 points” that Bruce Parry, the presenter uses to engage an understanding of the Tribe, these are in no particular order, language, issues, knowledge, daily life, location. These points applied to my film will be crucial to an accurate parody of Tribe.
Anthropology has been a huge interest for my throughout my life and i came to university with this idea in my head, and have waited till the third year to attempt this task. I will rely on the good will of my friends to help me as compared to allot of other ideas, this really relies on teamwork and the co-operation of others.
