- Last Friday Night by Katy Perry (2011)
The music video is said to be inspired by 1980s coming of age films in particular Sixteen Candles. It was also based around teen film of that decade the video is stylised like a short film by the use of a title sequence and end credits. The music video uses typical 80's fashion such as neon colours, big hair styles and pointy heels. As well as the main point of intertextual reference being the 80s and coming of age films, it can also be related to coming of age films in general. It has the typical idea of making the "geeky" girl into something beautiful.This music video also has sneaky intertextual references:
- Rebecca Black - The girl who is best known for the song "Friday". The two songs have similar themes in the lyrics about Friday being the day to party.
- 80s/90s Star Debbie Gibson and Kenny G
- Alice By Avril Lavinge (2010)
This was made in collaboration with the film Alice In Wonderland, therefore it holds a lot of intertextual references such as:- The White Rabbit
- The strange looking Caterpillar
- Larger than Life Mushrooms
- The Mad Hatter
It also includes a scene from the film using the character of the mad hatter and recreating the iconic tea party.
- Love Story By Taylor Swift (2009)
This video can be seen as a reference to the play - Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare it references not only the theme of love but also the era in which it was written it it seen in the clothing that is seen to be worn by the two in the flashbacks.
