Intertextuality

3 TYPES OF INTERTEXTUALITY:


1. Homage - Imitation is the highest form of flattery
Example:  The smashing Pumpkins pay respects to George Melies silent film The Voyage to the Moon which is widely credited as the first science fiction film and beginning of special effects. In their music video for Tonight, Tonight they follow a similar narrative to the film.

2. Pastiche - Using the imagery of one text to make a comment about another
Example: Shania Twain emulates Robert Palmers music video for Addicted to Love but uses men as her background singers as oppose to using females like in the original music video, ironically to empower women and objectify men

3. Parody- Making fun of something else
Example: Eminem-Lose It
The artist uses make cultural references and makes a mockery of famous celebrities and events in his music video for Lose It.
