I have chosen this type of educational magazine because I am better at it than any other options for an educational magazine that I could of chosen.

In my magazine I shall "educate" people about video games.

What is intertextuality?
Intertextuality is the shaping of a text's meaning by another text.

So, why do media texts use intertextuality?
In order to make a reference to other famous films/movies to boost ratings.

Now... Can you find two examples of media texts (pictures for magazines/websites, footage for music video) and explain why it is important for media producers to embrace this concept?

Family guy used intertextuality in one of their episodes, when they made a parody of star wars, it is important to embrace this concept because people who watch star wars will become interested in family guy aswell.
