This is the music video for the song Derezzed by Daft Punk and this track has been created for the remake of the film Tron with several intertextual references included. The narrative of the video doesn't show any actual footage of the film but is designed with the same concept of Tron in which we are taken from an arcade into this artificial game world.
The opening shot of the arcade in combination with traditional 8-bit arcade sound effects is nostalgic of the original film Tron and the 80s decade where video games were first being invented. Also, the design of the title of the arcade machine (which is also the name of the song) is very similar.
The animal-like creatures look like the Pokemon Groudon and Skarmory.
The video is dominated by references to the new Tron film Tron: Legacy because this video is based on that film. The references include the dress code of Daft Punk (when they were in the arcade), the design of the arcade graphics, the design of the animation which is the transition into the Tron virtual reality world and of course the design of the Tron world and all thats part, i.e. the landscape and the vehicles.
This technique of using intertextual references is part of postmodernism, which I think is definitely worth considering for use in our music video, since we can reference all aspects of real life whilst constructing and developing the narrative.
