Intertextuality planning into my video

There are two types of intertextuality according to Fiske.

Horizontal - reference to another text but in the same meduim. film - film
Vertical - reference to another text but ina different meduim. Film - music video

I will try and incorporate intertextuality into my music video.

The first intertextual reference I will make is a horizontal reference from Christina Aguilera 'Beautiful'. In my video in the narrative side it is about an insecure niave girl that is feeling the pressures of mordern day and media on what she should look like. We are going to try and create similar shots to the actor in 'Beautiful' that also has body issues. The following shots we will try and create links from are -

Another smaller less obvious intertextuality is a vertical reference from film to my music video. The main shot we will have of our main singer singing the lyrics throughout the whole song is him on a sofa. We have got inspiration and a small intertextual reference to 'About a boy'. 

These are the shots that inspired our main shot for our lead singer. The shots portrays isolation from the one you love/ loved ones, depression and feelings of being overwhelmed manifested through the one person on a large sofa portraying feelings of alienation.
