Intertexuality

Intertexuality is a serious homage to a certain piece of video, an example of this is Marilyn Monroe's music number "Diamonds are a girls best friend" is repeated in a homage by Madonna- Material girl. it is different to a parody as it is a serious video rather than a mock of it.

Shania Twain's homage to Robert Palmer's - Addicted to love is a true homage as it is a serious music video and not a comedy or a parody. Shania has adapted the same type that Robert has created and has added a gender reverse/twist with the dancers in Robert's music video being women while in Shania's music video they are men. Other examples of intertextuality include, Taylor Swifts' love story which was a homage to Romeo and Juliet and included serious parts rather than a parody.

In my own Music video we will look at intertexuality as we plan to feature two main characters in our music video story such as a man and a woman we may plan to include a homage to a music video that has featured an argument between a couple such as a Britney Spears music video. The theme we a re going for is delicate so we cant create a complete replica we need to keep our music video our own as the band is still well known and the themes may conflict.
