Intertextual reference: Tarintino references his previous films within IB, for example the high levels of gore

can be witnessed in Reservoir Dogs. He uses these references as almost signatures to identify work as his own.

Bricolage: Tarintino uses Bricolage in the opening credits of IB, as the Universal logo is that originating from the 1960s, after the film is set, and also his use of spaghetti western music The green leaves of Summer, is from the wrong time. Therefore this mimics Bricolage as it is an example of combining elements out of context in random combinations. Hyper-real world: Elements of hyper-reality within the film can be witnessed with the use of over head shots that blatantly reveal the scene as a set, as opposed to even attempting to make it look like a real place. The strangling scene within the film and that of the cinema burning, significantly blur the line between reality and film, as they are both real situations, perceived as fake, being portrayed as real in fake circumstances.

Simulacrum: The opening scene of IB can be regarded as replicating a scene from The sound of music. This is an example of Juxtaposition

Levi Strauss (addition, deletion, substitution): IB uses deletion, as it is a war film, however with all the fighting removed and mimics history but substitutes it for a fictional story.

Intertexual reference: Hobo with a Shotgun has intertextual references to Steampunk. Bricolage: This film combines attempts at heart-felt emotional scenes with that of comical circumstances that induce no emotional response at all. This gives the situation a humorous interpretation. Such as the scene where the Hobo places a picture of a bear in the prostitutes empty picture frame. Hyper-real world: Every aspect of this film is hyper-real, as the characters are over dramatic and provide unrealistic performances. The situation itself, of a bleak and wild town ruled by a few rich people seems very unlikely and poorly explained. And the levels of excessive gore are horrendously comical and unbelievable. These aspects can be regarded as failing to engage an audience as they are unable to relate to an unrealistic situation, and even attempts at diversion are limited as by feelings of disgust and confusion.

Simulacrum: This film is based on a trailer for a bad film, and has attempted to form a copy of the ideas from this trailer. This form of post-modernism can be criticised by the beliefs of, for being vacuous, as it is a text with no intention to serve any purpose, and therefore can be regarded as a pointless and depthless. Levi Strauss (addition, deletion, substitution): This feature substitutes the substance of a film for that of a trailer. It also deletes half the plot of a normal film.

Intertexual reference: The film continually references comic books with the presence of written words in conjunction with sounds such as Kpow, or Ring Ring! This relates to the main storyline of the film which is based on a sense of heroes and villains. Bricolage: The film combines real world footage with that of cartoon and game like elements, including the appearance of a pee bar, scores for fights and the production of coins. Although these elements would only usually appear in the depiction of a fake world, these separate worlds are collaborated in a new context. Hyper-Real world: This whole film challenges the audiences perception of reality, as it combines realistic characters with unrealistic game like situations, such as mid-air fights where no one gets hurt. Simulacrum: This film is attempting to mimic that of a cheesy hero fighter film, but lacks the substance of a well known heroes and villains story. It lacks engaging action and a gripping storyline. Levi Strauss (addition, deletion, substitution): Substitutes a courageous and aspirational heroic figure for that of an average and nerdy boy.

Intertexual references: Inception actually references itself. The plot of Inception is all about sneaking an idea into somebody's mind without the person even realizing it. However while you were watching the movie, does the same thing to the audience by making them doubt whether the scene is within the real world or a dream.

Bricolage: Within inception, it combines the genres of crime-drama, film noir and a psychological twist. This creates a whole new sub-division of its own. Within these levels all the senses the characters experience are copies of the real world and the unrealistic dream elements are copies of past dreams. The people are copies of reality and some of the places.

Hyper-real world: Inception is based upon the concept of being able to enter a dream and therefore a fake world. However most of the sets used for these dream scenes are actually filmed within real places, such as the Paris scene. This blurs the line between what the audience perceives as real and fake. Its a real place in a fake story pretending to be fake. Simulacrum: Inception toys around with the idea of simulacrum and shows it by travelling to a dream world within a dream world within a dream world. Levi Strauss (addition, deletion, substitution): This film presents almost realistic situations but with the deletion of the rules of time and space that are present in the real world, such as the ability to fold a city in half.

Intertexual reference: During the rooftop party, the Prime Minister notices two Elton John impersonators sneaking off together, and believes this to be a glitch in the Matrix so he runs to jump off the roof of the building. This references the film Inception, as within this film the character Mal believes she is not in the real world and so jumps from the hotel window to come back to reality. Bricolage: The genre for Flight of the Conchords forms a hybrid as it is both Sitcom/musical/music video/reality tv. This takes all the elements of these genres and places them in new contexts. Hyper-real world: Within this episode characters discuss what reality is based on the movie The Matrix. This demonstrates an example of hyper-reality and their basis for real world knowledge on that of a fake situation within a film. They cannot separate reality and the fake world. Simulacrum: Bret and Jemaine are hired to play a gig as Look a likes of Simon and Garfunkel. However they look nothing like them, but are told they look like the look-alikes who have pulled out. This an example of Simulacrum a copy of a copy

Levi Strauss (addition, deletion, substitution): This sitcom deletes the common narrative style of most similar shows, taking away realistic elements and making it obscure.
