Intertextuality

The definition of intertextuality is the relation between texts, especially literary ones. One example of intertextuality within a music video is Robbie Williams' music video for 'You Know Me'. The video features the artist being taken to an 'Alice in Wonderland' style setting, in which he is later dressed up as the rabbit from the film, therefore creating intertextuality between the original film and Robbie William's music video.

We will also be using intertextuality within our music video, as we are using the narrative of Virginia Wolfe's suicide attempt, which is documented throughout literature. Therefore, by incorporating this we will be using intertextuality. This could also possibly attract a wider audience to our music video, as people interested in the literature of Virginia Wolfe may also be interested in watching the music video.
