Intertextuality


Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls


This video has clear intertextuality in that around every 5 seconds it changes from a modern day theme to a 80's theme and it shows how the same diner has changed and peoples different dress senses. You see towards the end of the video Sean Kingston singing on a black and white screen which could further demonstrate how long ago it was.



Eminem - We Made You

This video is really good example of a parody music video. Eminem mocks a lot of different media areas such as reality tv stars and film stars, in a four minute video he Jessica Simpson, Bret Michaels, Britney Spears, Kevin Federline, Lindsay Lohan, Samantha Ronson, Amy Winehouse, Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi, Jessica Alba, Elvis Presley, Tony Romo, John Mayer, Jennifer Aniston, and Kim Kardashian. Eminem even spoofed himself, wearing an ALF t-shirt and holding a cake, referencing a commonly circulated pre-fame photo of him of when he was a youth.



Fergie - Glamorous

This video intertextualises a "Glamorous" life style and a big stars life style. It starts with a shot that goes back to 1994 so older people can remember and relate to it. It also goes from the present day back to that era and you see how things were different such as their dress sense and what car they had. It then goes to a old fashion western movie set.
