RESEARCH - Further research on Intertextuality

Following on my research on intertextuality, I have came across that there are three different types. These include Pastiche, Parody and Bricolage which are all special types of intertextuality, they involve reference to other media texts in some way.

Pastiche is when a media product tries to imitate other existing ideas without attempting to change its original meaning, for example, in cinematography, a director tries to copy another directors ideas which include the type of shot, lighting and mis en scene.  Here are some images that I have found on google that relates to this.

Parody type of intertextuality is when in a film, a director tries to create a scene which relates to a scene already existed in another movie, but in a comic matter. For example, there are some parody movies created which tries to ridicule the meaning of another movie. "Meet the Spartans (2008)" is an example, in which tries to imitate the blockbuster movie "300", but turning the genre of it to a comedy.

Bricolage is the definition that does not relate to the topic of my study (cinematography) therefore I have left it out.

The type of intertextuality that is more meaningful to my project is the Pastiche type, in which the Parody would be useful if i was creating a comedy/thriller opening, but my theme not based on comedy. Therefore the Pastiche intertextuality will help our group with extra ideas on shot type, mis en scene and lighting, taken from other movies.
