Intertextuality: Pastiche & Parody

Here is a little slideshow just giving examples of pastiche and parody and what they mean. It is significant for our music video as we would like to use elements from several different sources (preferably the past) and incorporate them as either pastiche or parody. For example Ed Sulliven's show or even the dance moves of a 20th century black rock/blues artist. Intertextuality not only represents convergence, but you know when you are watching a film, tv show and you know there's a prop or character that relates to a piece of media? Well here is an example...




The Red Hot Chili Peppers use very obvious intertextual references as they are live on stage dressed up as several famous musicians such as; The Beatles, Elvis Presley and Kiss. This would be an example of pastiche and parody as they take the mick but also create artistic replica's of what each artist is or was like. Things like their costumes act as the main focal point of the video as it gets fans to view their content because of the mick taking and connections it has to peoples past. Furthermore creative aspects such as the colors and black and white used act as what is called background references as they do not act as the main focal point but an emphatic tweak to make it more realistic. Overall we would like to evolve on this idea of intertextuality and add it to our upcoming music video. Many music videos including Dani California, will be analysed to further our research.
