Task 1 Inter textual artifact

• Locate an inter textual artifact.

The artifact that I have chosen will be the film Snow White, I have chosen this as I think there are many hidden meanings which have been though of very carefully and Disney have made the message hidden in the children's film, so really they are learning as well. 

• Identify the text it represents and how they function to give the work added meaning.

I think there is a clear reference to good and evil. This is shown by a good, nice and innocent Snow White who is helping clean and dust a house for the dwarfs, when a nasty, ugly witch comes along- the music changes to some eerie sound track to make her seem like a scary character. I think this could stem back to the angel and the devil which then relates back to the stories held in the bible.

The Seven Dwarfs represent different personalities and the moods that people can be in.
On a website I have looked at they say that there is comparisons the names of the dwarfs with your own personality changes when you have a drug addiction i think this is very clever.






Sleepy: Change in sleep patter
Happy: Mood Swings
Grumpy: Mood swings
Sneezy: Allergies
Bashful: Personality Alteration
Dopey: Self Explanatory
Doc: What you'll need at the end of it

Snow White eating the poisoned apple, I think this is a direct connection to Adam and Eve in the bible as they where warned not to eat the apple and yet they still did. Snow White ate the apple even though the circumstances where all wrong. 

• Consider how postmodern practitioners work can ever be original.

Personally I don't think that work can ever be original again, only due to the fact that we are influenced by every art movement that has happened, other artists and the entire world surrounding us. We also have a huge history that has been recorded and old pieces of art that still survived. Due to a compilation of all the elements I don't think that work could go back to originality without being influenced even in the slightest.
