Research - Intertextuality [Part 1]

Using another of Goodwin's Theory principles (There is often intertextual reference between films, TV programmes, and other music videos),we looked into the different forms of intertextuality displayed in different music videos. Intertextuality is where a music video tends to include aspects of a specific item, such as film, television and fashion.

Relationships with Film
Music videos that include similarities with films include:

2Pac & Dr Dre - California Love (dir. Hype Williams, 1996) took main idea from the film 'Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome'



Madonna - Material Girl (dir. Mary Lambert, 1985) took main idea from the film 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'



Relationships with Television
Music videos that include similarities with television include:

Beastie Boys - Sabotage (dir. Spike Jonze, 1994) took main idea from the titles of 1970's police TV openings, such as Starsky and Hutch and Hawaii Five-O



REM - Bad Day (dir. Tim Hope, 2003) took main idea from TV news channels
