Intertexuality Within Our Video

Our video includes a range of intertexuality from a range of different media platforms. We used intertexuality as it would make our video seem more entertaining.  

Most of our interexuality/ inspirational scenes came from Taylor Swift videos. We researched into a lot of Taylor Swift videos as she is a big, mainstream pop star. Many of our vlogging/ documentary scenes were inspired by a Taylor Swift music video called 'Ours'. We also got inspiration from Lana Del Ray's video 'Video Games' for the documentary scenes.

Point of view shot from our video. Where the female character
is recording the male character. They are both in similar
settings.

We also included intertexuality from scenes in 'Grease'. Grease is a classic romance movie, the scenes are highly recognisable so therefore they would be entertaining to our audience. Despite the fact that it is an old movie, our audience are most likely to be familiar with the movie as they may have watched with their parents when they were younger. 

Scene from Grease where the male character's friend spots the actors love
interest and points her out to his friends, including the main actor.

We did a similar scene but with just one friend. The scene includes the male
character conversing with his friend and his friend points out the female
character.

Opening scene in Grease, where the couple is messing around at the beach.
The male playfully chases the female.

We did a similar scene but at a different location.
