Intertextuality video

Intertextuality is the reference to an original source in another video/photo etc.


This music video uses intertextuality in relation to Suicide Squad. This song is off of the sound track to the film and therefore is expected to have movie footage within it.
The song helped to promote the movie and movie helped to promote the song.
They've used dark, stingy room and locations to match those of the movie.
I love the way crosscutting is used to link the song/artists to the movie.
I think the use of slow motion is really effective combined with the quick cuts. It makes the footage seem more dramatic yet still fast paced. Therefore matching to the plot of the film where drama is the main feature due to it being about criminals.
