Intertextuality #2 / Planning

In are group we have very different ideas but we are working together so that all are ideas are used and contributed to the making of our thriller title sequence.

In our groups film opening I would like for us to use intertextuality. Another idea that I think we should use is that to make remake of something that has been already done but develop it (either a previous students group work or one from a real film). Also I think we should use a subgenre of Action Thriller because I think it would be easy to do and fun.

Some of the ideas of intertextuality that I have thought of & that could maybe influence are thriller film opening:

-A slow motion footage and slow cuts to show confusion and dreams like done in the film Inception. A 2010 science fiction action heist film which was written, co-produced, and directed by Christopher Nolan, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Here is the trailer of the Inception film

-Use the way the editing and running is done in the film the Breakfast Club when the children are running away from the teacher during Saturday detention.

The Breakfast Club 1985 is a well known American film from the 80's and scenes from the film has been used and re-made many times here are some examples of this:

Here is an original clip from the film which has been re-made from different films and tv series

Here is a promo of an episode of the american tv series Victorious which did there own version of The Breakfast Club film.

Another is clip from the original film

Here is a clip from Family Guy which uses intertextuality from The Breakfast Club in one of their episodes

-We can have known catch phrase in the title sequence if we deiced to use talking actors or narrative for example some thing from Forest Gump, James Bond, Austin Powers, song sang by Edwin Starr 'What is it Good For' used in the Rush Hour films

-Have things light up when touched like in the music video of Michael Jackson 'Billie Jean'

-Poses from films for example The Charlie's Angles / James Bond gun Pose have used a lot in the media for many years.

Intertextuality is used a lot in spoof films

such as the Scary Movie films and other films such as 'Not Another Date Movie'

In 'Not Another Date Movie'  there is also intertextuality from The Breakfast Club (link below found from Youtube) even at the end of the film one of the actress Mollie Ringwald from the original film appears in the end of Not Another Date Movie film.

In the clip the actress Melissa Joan Hart is seen so some people will now here best for here role in 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' (tv series & film) which is a teenage movie so there is intertextuality.

In the film there is also intertextuality to other teenage movies such as:

Bring it On, She's All That, 10 Things I Hate About You, American Pie, Footloose, Grease, Pretty in Pink, Never Been Kissed, The Karate Kid, Save the Last Dance, Cruel Intentions and other films that I do not now.
