INTERTEXTUALITY




Intertextuality  is a term that mean referencing between films, films borrow from each other allowing the audience to recognise the camera angles and aspects of mise en scene, snippets of sounds and methods of editing in some film that we have seen in others to keep the audience engaged whilst watching the film. 

We looked a four different thriller shower scene clips that all came and were intertextuality used and borrowed from the 1960 argued to be first thriller released 'psycho'. The clip im going to analyse in detail is the 'Succubus' the student thriller and compare all the uses of the film psycho and what I can see similar within the two.

                  Shots of similar shots and plots;

This is a blackened image of what appears to be a woman and she is holding the knife up high and we know the attacks coming 

This is  a similar shot of the the above knife scene accept the only differences are the
types of showers and the fact we can clearly see who the
person stabbing is

This is a clear picture of the shower head to show us the fact they are showering

This is a shot of the shower head in the succubus accept the difference is the angle the shot
was taken at this is a side shot

In this shot we see a clear shot of her face being hit by the
shower and
she looks unaware of anything thats happening outside



Much like the shot above in phycho we have a close up shot of the boy in the shower
to again show us the fact he is completely unaware of whats
happening
