Intertexuality is where a text will borrow, change and take ideas from a previously made text. There are many well known texts that you can see intertextualityin. A good example of this which can clearly be seen is in 'Spoof Moives' like 'Scary Movie' and 'Superhero Movie'. These films have taken ideas from other films and made it into their own recreated version with similar conventions, characters and storyline.
Our production has deveolped from last year's production- London's Finest. We did this because we wanted a more serious version of this. London's Finest however, was intertextual because it had many ideas taken from Johnny English, which was a pastiche of James Bond.
James Bond ---> Johnny English ---> London's Finest ---> Conspiracies
You can see the borrowed ideas from last year's production like the group of secret agents and the enemies plotting an attack. This is also very similar to the Johnny English and James Bond storylines. I think that our film trailer is very intertextual.

Good understanding of intertextuality and a clear account of the intertextuality within your AS text. It's interesting that you took some of the same character ideas and completely altered the genre of your production by striving for a more dramatic and serious tone.
