Intertextuality


Intertextuality is the reference of one piece of text in another. For example, a program on TV may reference a serious book but in a funny way to entertain the audience. We are heavily influenced by Family Guy and as such will probably borrow some ideas from that series. This includes the plotlines of the shows and the cut away gags. If we are to make a video, which contains some form comedy, it would be useful to use intertextuality as it is a very powerful tool when creating humour.

An example of intertextuality is the advert for the family guy movies-
