What is post modernism?
Post modernism is the way of thinking about culture, art and media that rejects the idea that there is one single truth and meaning, post modernism suggests that meaning could be fluid, mixed and playful
Post modernism techniques
1. Pastiche: This is when a media text celebrates the style of another media text by imitating individual elements of it or entirely. The features of pastiche are imitation of style, genre blending and homage.
2. Parody: A media text that mocks or imitates the style of another media text by imitating certain elements like characters, plot structure, music or sound effects. Parody is used to create humour, criticize the original media text or entertain the audience who recognise the original.
3. Intertextual references: This is when a media text references another media text. It can be referred with a direct quote, allusions, genre conventions or cliches. It is used to pay homage to older works or add meaning by comparing texts.
