Intertextual Links

This is just a brief post on what intertextual links are and how i have used them in film opening,

Intertextual links are links in narrative to other narratives. Quentin Tarantino movies usually have a lot of intertextuality. As he was influenced by old spaghetti westerns and kung fu movies.

Romantic Comedies don't usually contaim intertexual links, but in mine i have included one.


In the bedroom of the girl character they are romantic comedy novals scattered around and rom com dvds.
Also in one of the shot a canvas print of Audry hepburn is in the background. This is a link to Breakfast at tiffany's (1961




This is the shot i took, the framing clearly shows the canvas print in the background.
