Intertextuality is the way in which similar or related piece
of work influence, reflect or differ from each other. This is done by using
references and similar technical areas (camera, editing, sound and mise-en-scene) from other texts to relate them together. Intertextuality is common in the
media industry; an example of this would be the way the film ‘What Lies Beneath’
has borrowed aspects from the film ‘Psycho.’ They both had a similar shower scene
- it involved the use of the shower curtain and a view from the shower head and
the sound of water. Although ‘Psycho’ is filmed in black and white, we can tell
that the lighting used I in ‘What Lies Beneath’ is similar. The film ‘Friday 13th’
also shared the shower scene and similar music with ‘Psycho’
