- Intertextuality is the shaping of texts' meaning using other texts. It can also be refereed to a reader's referencing of one text in another text.
How is intertextuality used in film?
- Intertextuality in film involves taking a reference/idea from another film.
- A discreet but brilliant example of intertextuality includes director of famous horror franchise Nightmare on Elm Street, Wes Craven wearing antagonist's Freddy Krueger's red jumper during his cameo appearance in modern-horror flick - Scream.
- Parodies use intertextuality, frequently. For example, The Simpsons have used the 'Shower' scene from Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho for comical purposes in their Treehouse of Horror specials.
As for my group, I think intertextuality might be somewhat hard to incorporate into the plot of our thriller as ours strays away from the norm, especially horror-based thrillers. Even if we were to use a couple of seconds, I believe this is something the examiners might dismiss after some consideration.
