Irony is when humour is based on using words to suggest the opposite of their literal meaning.

Intertextuality- The practice of purposely including a reference of one text in the narrative of another, it can generate levels of meaning for the viewer.

Spoof - a composition that imitates or misrepresents some body's style, usually in a humorous way.

Each of the of the words listed above are all linked with the film scary movie, scary movie is pastiche becuase the film is based on other films that have been before, the film also features alot of scenes which show irony as some humerous scenes show things which are not ment to be humerous. intertextuality means having other texts inside a certain text, this links with scary movie becuase it has links to many other texts. it is a parody becuase it mocks the orignal films that it was based on, for example how it makes the killer of the film a alcaholic, the killer was from the original scream movie. the genre of the film is spoof, a spoof is a genre of film which makes fun out of other films which is what is done all through the scary movie series
