ABSTRACT

What can commercial advertisements gain from creative ‘borrowing’ of film music? One probable answer is that it vests the product advertised with a more powerful emotional impact. But what are the limitations of effective intertextuality between film and advertising established through the use of a film soundtrack? The present study of 100 television ads (1960–2016) offers 4 models of intertextuality through the analysis of musical patterns, opening up a hitherto unexplored line of research.
