Post Modernism by Sachin Mistry

Bricolage:

Taking items outside of context and bringing them together to create a new context. It is meant to be obvious. Bricolage is a French loanword that means the process of improvisation in a human endeavor. The word is derived from the French verb bricoler ("to tinker"), with the English term DIY ("Do-it-yourself") being the closest equivalent of the contemporary French usage.

Pastiche:

Someone attempting to copy and imitate the work of another artist/director but is very bad/weak/humorous. Rather than mocking the work it imitates, it tries to celebrate it. In terms of film, this can be done through camera angles, lighting and mise en scene.

Homage:

The showing and paying respect to someone or something in a artistic, poetic manner. Copying the style tells the audience that the director is paying homage to the original work and that the original work/artist is 'better'.

Parody:

The deliberate ironic and satiric imitation of an original work through the subject, author or style. It is the mocking of another ones production and practices. It is a mix of pastiche and burlesque (which fools around with the material of high literature and adapts it to low ends).
