The most similar work as a parody of Tribe is self explanatory, i have really gone into depth in the making of his films, and done extensive research through his website which includes interviews and behind the scenes. My similarities will take place in the form of
but other work had a profound influence on my ideas. The work of Marc Huraux talking to the professional Malian Musician Ali Farka Toure influenced me in that i thought to compose and create music would really create the tribal atmosphere as desired. The uses of music comes throughout Tribe, but in the form of ethnic instrumental were as other programs notably “World’s Lost Tribes” make use of a whole wide range of instruments, including the harmonica and slide guitar which are definitely not part of Papua New Guinean indigenous culture! Music really helps create the atmosphere that indeed this group of people is a tribe and is vital to how the film works. For example when we see the hunt sequence we will use drums which speed in tempo as the hunt gets more intense.
Similar work to Tribe and parody i am doing is “World’s Lost Tribe’s”. This was made a year after BBC embarked on its Tribe project and has striking familiarities in narrative, so much so that i really wondered why they had released such a similar program?
Upon further research i realized that this program was for the American audience, even though tribe had been shown over the other side of the pond. It seems tribe was too much of a British approach and i found that though incredibly similar the “World’s Lost Tribes” was thoroughly over dramatized in comparison.
