Intertextuality in My Production

Intertextuality in texts is where one text borrows and transforms factors from a previous text, this is associated with postmodernism.
There are many examples of this, like the spoof genre, this uses the conventions, characters and narratives of existing films and creates pastiches ('Epic Movie', 'Date Movie', 'Scary Movie' etc.)
One of the most common texts which many people have borrowed ideas from is Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' which in turn created 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', 'Twilight', 'Vampire Diaries' and many more.

In my production I have borrowed factors from 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', 'Mission Impossible 3', and 'Taken'. The idea that I used in 'Taken' was the kidnapping, however I changed the woman getting taken to the man getting taken. The same idea of the kidnapping was used from 'Mission Impossible 3'. The idea that I borrowed from 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' is the criminal side of things and the way the criminals act. I think looking at and using different aspects from various texts has made my production look more professional and seem more realistic
