This music video will be similar to my own, in the fact that mine, too, will parody Bob Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues. The above video is by Weird Al Yankovich, an American singer-songwriter and comedian who often parodies well-known established songs. The above video features intertextual references to Bob Dylan, with the actor on-screen, who i'm not sure whether it's Weird Al or not. The two men in the background represent the two people in the background of Bob Dylan's video, and the costume within the mise en scene is almost identical to the Bob Dylan video. The elements of parody can be seen with the lyric boards, however, most of them are correct as the song itself makes no sense and is just random words put together. My text will be influenced in the sense that at the end of this video, the actor almost gives up. In my video, Billy, who will be my fictional lead singer, will give up after getting confused and start eating Skittles. I chose Skittles because it's irrelevant to the song, and the slow process of chewing them contrasts the heavy guitar-based music, which towards the end gets faster and heavier, further emphasising the contrast.

POSTMODERNISM:
Similar to my idea, Weird Al has created a postmodern music video, parodying Bob Dylan's song. It is extremely intertextual as it features the same costumes found in the original, as well as look-alikes in the background. Again, this creates ironic playfulness as the active audience will be aware of the parody and intertextuality, whereas the passive audience will see it, simply, as a good original music video, not knowing of the original.
