Intertextuality.

"Intertextuality is a term to describe the visual referencing between films. Quite literally, films 'borrow' from each other, and you, the audience, may recognise certain camera angles, aspects of mise en scene , snippets of sounds or methods of editing in some films that you have seen in others."

In lesson we looked at a scene from Physco, the scene showed a lady being killed in the shower with a knife. There were many good moments of mise en scene used such as the use of the shower and the shower curtain. Also the sound effect of the shower and the slashing sound of knife was very effective.
Physco:

Physco was created in the 1960's, many films today such as 'What lies beneath', 'Fatal attraction' and the 'The step father' include aspects from physco used in their movie. Below shows a few of the intextuality which has been used.

What Lies Beneath:

What Lies Beneath borrows many aspects from the previous scene of Physco. The aspects borrowed from the shower scene are the use of the mise en scene and setting such as the scene taking place in the bathroom with the use of the bath and shower with the use of the shower curtain.

Fatal attraction: 

Fatal attraction uses many aspects from Physco the main use of intertextuality is from the death of the women which she was murdered by a kife which is simmilar to the women in Physco. The stabbing is similar as the  the women was also murdered in the bath in a similar way as the strokes of the knife towards the women was showed in the same as the women in Physco.
