9. There are many reasons as to why there is intertextuality in
music videos. One reason is because is shows reference with
films or other music videos making a relationship between the
viewer and the music video as I can relate t things that the
viewer is familiar with. It can also be used due to a deeper
meaning of the music video, not only will it be creating a new
meaning as it will be associated with something different, but
could also develop ideas that have previously been created.
It could also be linked to post-modernism; due to the fact that
nothing new can be created yet everything cannot be
compared with each other, value is not measured as
everything should be the same.
10. Most parody films are based on intertextuality due to the
content on which they feature. They make a mockery of
previous films; one of the most common genre would be
the series of ‘Scary movie’ in which a medley of popular
horror films are made into one film, the plot lines are made
into jokes and the element of comedy is added.
