The following clip is taken from a classic episode whereby they include Planet of the Apes references in a musical. They have Dr.Zaius included in this clip (a fictional character from the film and television programme.
Our Music Video
In our video so far, we do not really have any obvious examples of intertextuality as we tried to base our video around original ideas. However, saying this I have thought of some ideas we could potentially try to incorporate for our final shoot (where we are filming the couples flashbacks). I feel that this is the most easy section of our video to try and achieve this, because there are many famous media couples that we could look at.
My first example, is Ross and Rachel from American sit-com Friends. They have an on-going fued through the majority of the 10 series about whether they were on a break when Ross slept with someone else. The famous "We were on a break!" has appeared in several episodes throughout the years, and we could potentially add this line to our beginning dialouge. The only downside to this idea is the fact that this is quite a comical line, and it may not fit in with the tone of the video. Even if we were to get Joe or Emily to say it in a serious matter it would detract from the whole point of intertexuality because it doesn't have a great resemblence, as the whole fame of that quote orignates from the way it is said.
The second idea I had was a very quick thought that I had when shooting in Sophies house the other day. She has a banaster which is on a raised floor that overlooks the living room, and when i was standing by it on the pointed edge that I suddenly had the image of the famous Titanic scene, where they are on the end of the boat. We could potentially try and use that in Emily's and Joe's scenes, and people should be able to understand the reference. It may work really well, but on the other hand it may not and we might decide to include it. Either way, I've noted it down to try on the day of filming.
