Intertextuality.

 
Intertextuality is the relationship between texts, here those texts are music videos.

 

Robert Palmer-Addicted To Love
 
 
Shania Twain-Man I Feel Like A Woman
Shania Twain has recreated Robert Palmer's video, but with scantily clothed men instead. He was originally showing that he was a popular man who was in control. In a time of feminism, Twain has shown that she has also reached this status, and that she too can have anybody she wants. The roles have twisted to show a dominant woman who can boss the men around for once.


Maralyn Monroe-Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Madonna-Material Girl
In this video, Madonna is trying to show that she is like Maralyn Monroe-a blonde bombshell that all the men want. She is comparing herself to Monroe as she was also an extremely popular blonde woman, adored by many people.



Intertextuality is used so that the audience can recognise part of a music video from somewhere else, and therefore will know the genre/style and what to expect from the video. They can see what the artist was going for. If an audience liked the first one, when it is parodied they will enjoy it the second time round too and hopefully be excited and find it funny.

In our video we will be parodying Busted and Mcfly in the concert scene as they would always be shown in their videos jumping playing guitar and rocking out. They were a bit over-the-top so I think making reference to this would be funny and would help people to remember the bands they used to love.


McFly's recent video for 'Love Is On The Radio' uses a LOT of iconography.

   Dougie=Bob Dylan, 'Subterranean Homesick Blues'.  

 The band become emoticons.


Trying out Michael Jackson's dance moves.




  smashing their instruments like Jimi Hendrix.

Dougie licks a hammer like Miley Cyrus in the video for 'Wrecking Ball'.
 
They even illuded to themselves!
