Explore how intertextuality creates meaning in the videos the Riptide by Vance Joy and 7 Rings by Ariana Grande.

Intertextuality is where one media product creates meaning through referencing another media product.

Referential codes are used to:

Make a media product relatable, recognisable and to maximise profit

Make a clear narrative

Audience feels individual when they understand a reference

Provoke an audience with tried and tested methods

To pay homage to or to criticise the original product

7 Rings notes

purple colour

fur jackets

reference to expensive shoes (red bottoms) - commodity fetishism

Vaporwave style

cover of 'my favourite things'

similar to 'enter the void'

hyper referentiality - when a media product references a media product that has reference previous media products.

video references asian culture 'Korean/Japanese'

Audiences are anchored through the mise-en-scene of blood and c/u shots. 7 Rings creates a voyeuristic fantasy due to the mise-en-scene and constant references to commodities.
