Abstract

The three-act structure is dominant in film screenwriting, including the satirical comedy genre, as seen in Jam Kosong (Empty Hours). However, these studies tend to focus on drama, with little attention paid to satirical comedy. The choice of satirical comedy as a creative form is based on both aesthetic and conceptual considerations. Satire has a distinctive character as a medium for social criticism that operates through irony, hyperbole, and paradox. The combination of satirical comedy with a three-act structure provides significant dramatic advantages. Therefore, this article seeks to enrich academic discourse on film screenwriting and the application of narrative structure in the satirical comedy genre. This study adopts an artistic research design, which positions artistic practice as a form of creative and critical inquiry integrated with educational objectives. This study reveals the most important finding: the three-act structure in the Jam Kosong screenplay is effective in constructing a satirical comedy narrative that critiques social issues such as educational inefficiency and bureaucratization, while still entertaining audiences through ironic humor.

Abstract

This research examines photography as a medium to visualize emotions through a symbolic approach and creative movement techniques within sunset portraiture. Employing a qualitative descriptive method and a phenomenological approach, this study explores how visual elements such as color, light, texture, composition, and movement are capable of representing complex emotions, including loneliness, self-reflection, and acceptance. The findings indicate that creative movement techniques amplify visual dynamics and establish an emotional connection between the artwork and the audience. Each visual element functions not only for aesthetic appeal but also as a symbol that non-verbally conveys emotional and philosophical messages. These results affirm the role of photography as a visual communication medium capable of deeply transmitting inner experiences.The study concludes that color in sunset photography functions as a strong visual element capable of conveying emotional messages through nonverbal communication mechanisms. Drawing upon Roland Barthes' semiotic framework, the analysis shows that the colors present in the sunset gradient operate not only at the denotative level as an observable natural phenomenon but also at the connotative level as culturally and personally embedded symbols that evoke emotional associations. The findings reveal that warm colors like orange and red elicit feelings of warmth, longing, and hope, while darker hues such as purple and deep blue evoke meanings related to contemplation, solitude, and introspection. This interpretation is reinforced by insights from interviews with Fitrian, who emphasizes that visual elements including color, composition, creative movement techniques, and lighting are intentionally constructed by the photographer to guide the audience’s perception and emotional interpretation.
