Intro: Intertextual references are the links to forms of media that are not necessarily to do with music. Goodwin said that intertextual references are the links to films, TV programs or other music videos etc.
Music videos with intertextual references:
Eminem - Without me:
Throughout eminems without me videos he makes refrences to many things ranging from other famous stars to reality television he does this in a very controversial way that he does to try to make his sudience luagh and also could be to increase his popularity.
Michael Jackson - Thriller:
In Micheal Jacksons thriller he refrences the horror industry throught the werewolf theme and zombie theme and refrences to rea life when he is in the cinema the music video is much like a short film so this also refrences the movie industry.
Foo Fighters - Learn to fly:
In the Foo Fighters learn to fly video there are many refrences to real life situations that they put over to the audience in a funny way this also makes it seem like a comedy movie so refrences also to the movie industry.
Advantages of intertextuality: Using intertextuality in a music video could make the video more appealing to a wider range of people so could gain the artist fans. This would therefore make the artist make more money and make them a bigger star.
Disadvantages of intertextuality: The issue with intertextuality is if the people who like the person or thing you refrence dont like the way the artist represents them this could cause the audience to not like the video and then not like the artist so they will lose fans and lose money.
conclusion: In my video i would use intertextuality if it fits however if it does not and it is there for no reason i would not use intertextuality in my video because it would not make sence.
