Cinematic Homage (as Media Archeology):

Cinematic Homage is “a cinematic device whereby filmmakers pay homage to another filmmaker's style and use of cinematography, including camera angles, lighting, and mise-en-scène.”  In this sense, “homage is a great way to carry the 20th century into the 21st century.” “Homage is really useful as a way to link points in the history of cinema. Whether the reference is obscure or really well known, the tribute of an homage boosts the longevity and relevance of older cinema.” “Quentin Tarantino, often uses various plot s, characteristics and theme s from many lesser-known films to create his films.” As such, Mr. Tarantino is a Media Archeologist: “Media archaeologists often evince strong interest in so-called dead media, noting that new media often revive and recirculate material and techniques of communication that had been lost, neglected, or obscured. ”
