Intertextuality Research


Intertextuality

Intertextuality is the way in which texts refer to other media texts that producers assume audiences will recognise. Intertextuality is the shaping of texts'. It can include an authors borrowing and transformation of a prior text or to a readers referencing of on text in reading another.

The main use of Intertextuality used in films is arguably the shower scence from the film "psycho" many other films have borrowed the idea of a murder occuring in bathroom.

All the films below share some aspects of the shower scene from "Psycho" including the props used Mise en scene, the setting and also the sound. By the films using these aspects from "Psycho" Intertextuality is created.

PSYCHO:


WHAT LIES BENEATH:

FATAL ATTRACTION:  


When we create are opening thriller scene the use of intertextuality is going to be very important when creating it because it will give us ideas of what to do and how to do it and this will help save time and not overthinking as we will borrow aspects from other film scenes instead of coming up with a brand new idea.
