Intertextuality


In this Intertextuality research task I will be looking at how a range of media products in the category of 'Magazines' use intertextuality to appeal to a wide range of audiences.  I will also be highlighting what makes these references to other media texts effective.
Intertextuality can be shown in a number of ways throughout this front cover. The first way it is shown is through the main cover line " the winner takes it all" this shows reference towards Abba music and they are using it to mock the people they are talking about. They also use the heads of politicians on top of the bodies of the band from "mamma mia" linking them again to the music to represent them as not serious due to their decisions. These all show intertextuality and it is used to mock the people and also bring interest to another type of audience.



There are a number of ways that intertextuality is shown throughout this front cover. One way in which this is shown is through the social media logos. Social medias shown include snapchat , instagram and facebook amongst many others. Another way this can be shown is through having an apple iPhone as the mobile phone on the front cover.



This research has helped show me how I can use intertextuality in my NEA and the different ways I can do this. I would like to use intertextuality in my work through text in the cover lines  and I will make it related to my target audience so that it is relevant.

ONLINE CROSS MEDIA PRODUCT - WEBSITE

 https://spalmer607.wixsite.com/mysite Due to the pandemic I was not able to get audio for my website. Therefore I have made a script of what would have been my interview on my website. This would be the interview: Interviewer: How was your school life when you were younger? Did you feel you faced more challenges than other children? ​ Christian:  I have mixed feelings about school. Half of me wants to say it was great I had my friends and I did achieve well. However it wasn't perfect, bullies exist in all schools and mine would always be to do with race. I would be the last to get picked for a team along with some of my class as they didn't want a team with us. We did get left out so I guess we did face more challenges but not by the teachers by the other students. ​ Interviewer:  Would you say it has become less of an issue since you have got older? Would you say there is more equality? ​ Christian :  Obviously historically there is more equality, but people have ...

Statement of intent

  How do you intend to use the four areas of the media theoretical framework to communicate meaning and meet the requirements of your chosen brief? I will be making a current affairs magazine called “New society” by Dennis publishing. I chose the name New society as it relates to the genre of the magazine current affairs as it will discuss topics that are relevant to the new society. This means topics that people aged 16-25 see as relevant and an important current affair. For the first issue of my magazine I will be having a woman wearing a coronavirus mask. This will be a close up of her face to show how everyone can connect with her as the whole world is going through the same pandemic and feeling the fear of the virus. The second issue will be on a male who is suffering depression. This will also be a close up of half his face to show the raw emotion he is going through. The other half is not showing as he is trying to hide his emotions, this is to show how the media usually hid...

NEA BRIEFS

   In this blog I will be choosing my brief for the NEA and I will come up with my initial ideas for both my products that are required. The brief I have decided to choose is brief 3 : magazines and online. This is because I already have a high amount of skills for photoshop and very brief introduction to Wix for the development of the website. Here below are two mind maps for my initial ideas for my magazine. ------------------------- Mind Map created by Sydney Palmer with GoConqr --------------------------- Mind Map created by Sydney Palmer with GoConqr The magazines will have the branding shown across both of the front covers. This will mean that they both have the same layout ,colour scheme and typography across both front covers and context pages.
