	Pastiche - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pastiche can also be a cinematic device wherein the creator of the film pays homage to another filmmaker's style and use of cinematography, including camera angles, lighting, and mise-en-scene.
		A film's writer may also offer a pastiche based on the works of other writers (this is especially evident in historical films and documentaries but can be found in non-fiction drama, comedy and horror films as well).
		Pastiche is also used with a rather different meaning: a work is called pastiche if it was cobbled together in imitation of several original works.
