PRODUCTION: INTERTEXTUALITY

I wanted to include lots of intertextuality in my magazine and website as an intelligent, culturally aware audience will enjoy uncovering them and understanding them. The intertextuality is evidenced below:

WEBSITE:

when displaying the ‘shop’ section of my website I used intertextuality in the names of some of the T-shirts available. The Leonardo Dicaprio T-shirt is called the ‘Never Let Go Tee’ an intertextual reference to the famous line in the film ‘Titanic’, in which he stars. The Brad Pitt T-shirt is called the ‘Don’t talk about it Tee’, an intertextual reference to the rules of Fight Club.

In the news section of my website I used the phrase ‘Spotted’ as it is an intertextual reference to ‘Gossip Girl’ a phrase the blogger uses when writing about the characters.    

In the subscribe section of my website I used the quote ‘Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship’ an intertextual reference to the last line of Casablanca, and builds a bond with readers.

the features page includes intertextuality to other films through the DVDs, the book, and the costumes
