Intertextuality in music videos

The Beasty Boys- Sabotage 

The Beasty boys presented us with a very 90's cop-like impression in their music video. This was through camera movements and editing as well as the mise en scene. This is done through a parody, 'a humorously exaggerated imitation', which creates a rebellious vibe and creates a purposeful image of the Beasty Boys as they daringly take the mick out of well-respected, authoritative figures within society. 


Red Hot Chili Peppers- Californication 


The Red Hot Chili Peppers takes an unusual approach by taking on a visual and narrative style as a video game.This immediately attracts the youthful, pop-rock audience as they feel familiarization of the use of media. 






Madonna- Vouge


Despite the title being 'Vouge', the name of the popular fashion magazine, Madonna has made references to Marilyn Monroe through visual appearance and art history. She wears a low cut white dress, an iconic white dress of Monroes, curly blonde hair, bold lips and flawless skin.
