In this blog, i am going to research into my focused media products in order to highlight any uses of intertextuality and how they used it to fit in with comedy. By doing this i can then understand how to use intertextuality references in my broadcast to successfully appeal to the audience and satisfy the genre.

In this source there were many intertextuality references such as 6:03 where they made a parody of Donald Trumps well known, "we will build a wall" This was amusing as this instance was already mocked, to then change it to a situation between Scotland and England to a British audience, put it into our perspective of how ridiculous his ideas were.
18:55 Another reference was to Downtown Abby. This was again a parody, they edited the theme tune to create a si-fi like sound, them continued to verbally role play a modern version of the show and mock some of the characters personalities. This will appeal to the older audience as its more likely that they are interested in this TV series. As the BBC Radio 4 target audience is around 25-40 they would most likely understand all of these references.
21:27 The Big brother, a well known global TV show was featured, They imitated the host of the show by telling contestants to display there boobs in a hot tub (relating to male gaze) and to also cause arguments with one another. This was added to create comedy by suggesting that the show is staged which many people believe to be true. Expressing the same opinion as a large quantity of the audience will greatly appeal to listeners as they can relate to the hosts and ideas.

1:30 they create a parody of Brexit through a DFS sale announcement. They make it evident that the dates are constantly changing, this was done to re create the situation of uncertainly within the dates of brexit. They make it clear that they are referring to brexit, even though the audience would most likely understand the reference, making it clearer makes it easier to focus on the comedy within the parody,making it more amusing.

S – Good analysis of chosen texts.
ReplyDeleteI – You need to include examples of how you specifically intend to use the information you summarised in your production… what specifically do you intend to use in production that links to this research? What intertextuality do you intend to use in your radio piece?
T – Please write the above in RED FONT as part of your conclusion.
