Abstract

The development of digital technology has brought significant changes to various aspects of the film industry, including cinematography. Cinematography, as an essential element in filmmaking, plays an important role in delivering messages, building atmosphere, and creating visual experiences for audiences. This study aims to analyze the transformation of cinematographic styles in Indonesian cinema in the digital era and to identify the impact of technological development on camera techniques, lighting, visual composition, and post-production processes. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through a literature review of various journals, books, scientific articles, and relevant sources discussing the development of cinematography and Indonesian cinema. The collected data were analyzed to identify changes in visual styles before and after the adoption of digital technology in film production. The results of the study indicate that the digital era has driven a transformation toward more dynamic, flexible, and innovative cinematographic styles. The use of high-resolution digital cameras, drone technology, camera stabilization devices, and modern editing software enables Indonesian filmmakers to produce higher-quality visuals with more efficient costs. In addition, digital technology also provides opportunities for filmmakers to explore more creative visual styles that align with the narrative needs of films. Thus, the transformation of cinematographic styles in Indonesian cinema during the digital era not only improves the technical quality of film production but also expands artistic possibilities in storytelling for audiences.

Abstract

This research focuses on supernatural entities, religion, satire, parody, and codes, through simulacrum and mystical logic in the commodification of communication in the narrative of the horror-thriller genre film entitled "Ghost in the Cell" which takes place in Labuhan Angsana prison. In this film, it is narrated that prison is not only filled with evil and greedy people, but also people who are actually innocent. In prison there is also an invisible ghost figure, then incarnates and duplicates itself to resemble a potential victim who will be killed sadistically and aesthetically. This research uses the concepts and theories of Commodification (Vincent Mosco), Simulacrum (Jean Baudrillard), Intertextuality (Julia Kristeva), and Binary Opposition Narrative Analysis (Vladimir Propp and Claude Levi-Strauss). The use of several concepts and theories to reveal the entity and narrative of the film contained in the characters and a number of scenes. The results of the study show that simuacrum and mystical logic in the horror genre continue, when an invisible ghost enters someone's body and appears, and presents something that is not real to be real (simulacrum) which is arranged into a narrative (intertextuality), and is represented functionally by the characters - a binary opposition narrative structure - as an attraction and interest for the majority of the audience through capitalist logic (communication commodification) and mystical logic.
