Intertextuality is the references made between different forms of media to each e.g Films, music videos etc.
how the referencing is done can vary from camera angles to depict a certain shot to the mise-en-scene to connote different mood/themes. 'motifs' in films can also referenced e.g the idea of being set in a bathroom in a thriller instantly signifies danger most of the time due to the film psycho, some films where this is referenced are The Stepfather, What lies beneath.
In The Stepfather sequence a man is seen to be chasing a women into the bathroom as he goes to stab her she retaliates quickly in defence and cuts him in the neck with a shard of glass, he then falls to his death in the bathtub ripping the shower curtain down with him. In psycho a similar thing occurs which i will show in the next post.
