Language, The barrier presented by the tribe can be replicated by getting my subjects to talk as thickly as they can in their colloquial accents, whilst responding in oxford English. The dialect can then be subtitled and subverted.
Issues- The student riots would be the most obvious point of issue however i feel as myself and my friends who are helping out and acting have little interest in the student riots, especially if there are thousands of more important issues globally, i may have this as a past event that happened to their ancestors and the tribe could talk about this as a distant memory
I was thinking instead of the lack of money would also be appropriate as an issue that would crop up in the film.
Daily Life-Eating bad unhealthy food
Leisure
Computer Games
Girls
Studys
As is the convention for tribe we will se the film crew advancing though a wilderness to get to the village, to show the tribe as remote. Initial opening sequences set the expectations of what we perceive from the tribe, this will include stereotypes and tense moments within the program, to grasp the audience with a narrative of the tribe. In this we will see recycled footage from the scences i have filmed.
The village will be the estate i live on which has an enclosure behind which gives it a tribal feel.
Very interesting stuff - basically a taxonomy of an Everyday.
ReplyDeleteSome critical reflection upon the values, beliefs and habits that underpin and shape the objects you describe might be useful here:
"Bad food" is political, social and cultural; "girls" is political, social and cultural; social amnesia and apathy is political, social and cultural (e.g. not caring about the riots); "location" is- etc...
I do think you've chosen good themes:
Food = Wealth/status
Girls = Patriarchy
Study = Status/Food
Computer Games = Status/Wealth/Patriarchy
etc...
