10/02/13- Intertextuality in Film

Intertextuality in Film

  • Dialogue
  • Action 
  • Locations
  • Specific shots
  • Conventions
  • Narrative
  • Stereotypes
- People like making links with other films, because doing this will encourage the audience to watch it by recognizing where a specific scene, location, dialogue has come from. 

Uses of e- media [new media tech]
  • Websites ----> Blogs ----> Social media
Social networking sites help a film become viral all over the internet by loads of people speaking about a particular film, it gets the other audiences interested and they keep updating specific facts about the film. Once the film is released and many people have watched it, they tend to review/ rate it online- giving the people who have not watched it, a rough idea on how they liked/disliked it, and what could be improved about it. Most people tend to use social networking sites as in Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr etc as they are easy to use and it enables people to post pictures up of whatever they want. 

Websites are also very practical and most films nowadays, have their own official film websites such as; The Hobbit, Skyfall, The Avengers Assemble, The Amazing Spider-Man etc. This helps interact with the audience and keeping them posted about any teaser posters, trailers that they should look at to find out more about the film. Some people actually make fan sites of certain films that they had really enjoyed/ or become a fan of. For example, there are many fan pages for Harry Potter, Twilight films etc as people have become somewhat obsessed with these types of films. This helps a specific film stay on top of things by giving excellent reviews and ratings which encourages more and more people to watch it. 
  • 3D- Why does it make people want to consume it?
It brings out the action that goes on in the film much more than watching it on regular definition. It amuses the audience more by watching it in 3 Dimension. The audience feels as if they are included in the movie which makes them feel excited. 
  • DVD- 
If a specific film is liked, the audience can watch it over and over again especially, if they are doing a project and must watch specific scenes or analyse the film. By watching a film in the cinema, sometimes you tend to forget what happened and when the DVD of a film comes out, majority of people go and buy the DVD so they can recapture what happened. 
  • Blu Ray- how it attracts the audience. 
Blu Ray is basically, when a film is shown in a High Definition (HD) experience. This attracts an audience by showing every detail in that film and so, it also makes the graphics used stand out. The audience will enjoy the movie more if it is in a higher resolution. Blu ray could also give an illusion Blu ray also provides a better sound quality i.e. surround sound, which will gives that incredible audio. Every film looks better and sharper in Blu ray form as it brings out the detailing, colors and graphics used.

  1. A good breakdown of new technologies. Now look at your case study products to see if they have used any of these technologies to attract an audience.
