Great Expectations - Intertextuality
The book Great Expectations by Charles Dickens features a character (Miss Havisham) who was jilted at the alter, and believes in wearing her wedding dress for the rest of her life. She wore a white dress with a veil which represented her wedding day. This idea was suggested by my focus group when they were shown my music video. I felt that this related to my music video, as the overall theme of it was that my character had either escaped a wedding or was jilted. I thought that this was a concept of a pastiche idea; my music video imitates the style of another thing such as a book, film etc.
I thought that this was an interesting intertextuality point, along with the Mona Lisa, as it would show that I have tried to convey the overall message of my video correctly.
