Intertextuality








An intertextual reference is where one media text (photograph, film, tv show) reminds the audience of another media text. For example the image of Janet Jackson on the front cover of Vibe magazine may remind the audience of the Off The Wall album cover that her brother appeared on. However, only audiences who are familiar with the album cover would get the reference.
