Intertexuality

Intertexuality in film is the reference to other famous and iconic works of film, photography, literature, and television, within a film outside of these works. Some intertextuality references are subtle and discrete, therefore they can become unnoticed by people who are less educated with media. I found that this video provided a clear understanding of the term with examples of intertextuality within film and television:



As I am creating my OTS film for a post-modernist audience who are interested in film noir, I will consider using intertextuality references to other traditional film noir works, as an audience educated with this genre will be most likely to spot and appreciate them.
