Intertextuality

Go through the presentation slides to familiarise yourself with the concept of intertextuality. 

Objective
To further introduce the concept and uses of intertextuality.

Task 
1. Write an idea (the term is a treatment) for a music video.
Choose a song and look closely at the lyrics—ignore the current music video.
Decide upon the theme of the song—then look to other texts that would strengthen the idea(s) through intertextuality. Explain your reasons.

Presentation
Write your idea in a Google presentation with images.
Slide 1 - Presentation title and image
Slide 2 - Title and lyrics to the song

Slide 3 - Theme of the song or word within the song that make you think of other famous things. Include reasons why you have come to this conclusion.

Slide 4 - Other texts that could be used to reference this theme. If you are struggling to think of any more, just leave this out.
Slide 5 - Written treatment - outline / synopsis of how the music video starts. 
(those looking for As and Bs should be using camera language to describe the shots)

Checklist for assessment
Google presentation embedded on blog, music video treatment written up with images, an explanation as to how intertextuality has been used in the video idea.
