Intertextuality

Intertextuality is a term to describe the visual referencing between films. In other words, films borrowing certain clips and adapting to it or developing it. As audience we may recognise certain camera angles, mise en scene, snippets of sound or methods of editing in some films that we have seen before.


I watched the famous clip from the film 'Psycho' the bathroom scene when a woman is murdered with a knife in the bath as the clip below shows. This film is a great example of Intertextuality as other films have seen and borrowed different aspects from this film and developed it or kept it original. After this, I watched 3 other clips and wrote down the different aspects which was borrowed from the film.
