INTERTEXTUALITY?
Part 1 - Intro: Acknowledge the
question and the
importance of the topic.
Part 2 - A look at research at AS. What texts did you
look at? What websites did you use? What
conventions did you notice and which ones did you
use in your product at AS? YouTube, Art of the title,
Google Images, Scribd, Online Magazine readers (issuu)
Part 3 - Acknowledge that your research was more
extensive (A2)... Different types of music videos,
different types of documentary, different types of
regional magazines, applying different genres to
trailers, looking at how auteurs applied genre. What
texts did you research? What conventions did you
notice in these texts? Which conventions did you use
in your final piece?
Part 4 - (A2) Did you look at ay other media
products (real texts) outside of the brief? What
did you get from them? How were they helpful?
How did they make your product more appealing
to the audience?
Part 5 - (A2) Link the topic of the question to
the ancillary tasks. What
conventions/elements did you notice on
websites/digipaks/radio adverts/billboards,
etc? Which one of these did you use in your
final Ancillary tasks? Consider the use of
Synergy in A2 that you didn't have to consider
for AS.
Part 6 - Conclusion. Link to
question at the end. Acknowledge
that looking at real media texts
was vital to creating your own
pieces.
Theories you can use
Roland Bathes - Semiotics -
Denotation/connotation
Neale: Neale argues that genre is a
process by which generic codes and
conventions are shared by producers
and audiences through repetition in
media products
Donald Larning: "There is no
absolute judgement [on creativity]
All judgements are comparisons of
one thing with another."
