What is Intertextuality?
Is the practice of deliberately including references to one text in the narrative of another, either as homage to the text referred to or as a device intended to engage the interest of the audience by appealing to their prior knowledge and experience or media texts.
Here are two examples of where intertextuality is used. 'I dont wanna miss a thing' by Aerosmith is a song writen and dedicated especially to the film of 'Armageddon' As you can see the artist includes clips from the film so that the audience can relate and undertsand the meaning and purpose of the song. This is intertextuality.
I personally do like the way that these two videos have used intertextuality as it makes you remember the parts of the film and gives the music video more depth. It also gives it a different side which keeps it interesting and helps you to understand the lyrics.

I dont wanna miss a thing- Aerosmith ( Armageddon) Power of Love- Huey Lewis ( Back to the future)
I will not be using any form of intertextuality in my music video as I do not wish to relate it to any form of other already known media text, including news articles, film clips etc.
