Examples of Intertextuality in Music Videos

The influence of video games will predominate for the younger audience with the more sophisticated look of characters emerging,as seen for example in Robbie Williams's 'Let Love be your Energy'  which was directed by Olly Reed and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers 'Californication' which was directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris.Also another  style which has predominated throughout music video's is the Japanese style of 'Anime'  with the success of TV shows such as Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z and Digimon the intertextuality between the two media texts was bound to occur we see this in Linkin Park's Breaking the Habit, Directed by John Hahn, and also Daft Punk's Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger and directed by Kazuhisa Takenouchi, a veteran director for Toei animation.
