Intertextuality Research - INTERTEXTUALITY IN THE MEDIA


TASK 2 - WRITE A SHORT INTRODUCTION EXPLAINING WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO IN THIS TASK.

What i'm going to do in this task is that I'm going get a deeper understanding of intertextuality. I'm also going to learn how I can apply this to my brief/magazine. This will help me as i'm going to use it in my cover lines.

TASK 3  – Choose 3 different media texts... as long as they link to the brief you've chosen.  
How and why is intertextuality employed in 2 media products and what effect does this have in their intended audience?


Kate Ross imitating Marylin Monroe.
Intertextuality is presented here between Kate Ross and Marylin Monroe. They did this because they want the audience to link the similarities between Kate Ross and Marylin Monroe. This also allows the reader to feel smart.


Front Cover of GQ Magazine pays homage to Marylin Monroe and Kennedy.
 They present intertextuality between Jimmy Kimmel, the woman behind him and Marylin Monroe and Kennedy. They do this because they want to show the affair that Monroe and Kennedy had. This allows the reader to be shocked by the news.


Vogue pays homage to the 'Enlist' Poster.

They present intertextuality by using the vogue characters and the 'Enlist' poster. They do this because they want the older generation to make the link between the army poster and the Vogue front cover. This makes the reader feel smart and want to continue reading the magazine.



TASK 4 - WRITE A SHORT CONCLUSION EXPLAINING HOW YOU INTEND TO USE INTERTEXTUALITY IN YOUR BRIEF.

I will use this intertextuality in my brief by including it in my cover lines. I will make references to famous children books and phrases used in the books by popular characters. For example I could use "all was well" from Harry Potter and the deathly hallows. I will use intertextuality to attract the reader/make the reader interested towards my magazine and make the reader feel smart because they picked up on the comparison.
