<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Shooting techniques in films are needed so that the storyline can be continuous between actors and audiences. The action in the Modus Anomali film is visualized through shots, scenes, and sequences in the structure of the film in harmony with causation. Through shooting techniques can create a tension that affects the anxiety of the audience awaiting the risk that befalls the protagonist. The shooting technique in this film is dominant by using handheld techniques in realizing an action. The emergence of interesting and important handheld movements is assessed to form tension. The analysis technique used is descriptive qualitative. While the sampling technique uses purposive sampling in several sequences that focus on the protagonist. The results showed that the appearance of the handheld was able to form tension with the support of camera angle technique, type shot, camera movement, long take and canted angle, which created a conflict that peaked as a form of tension.Keywords: Film Mode Anomaly, Handheld, TensionABSTRAK Teknik pengambilan gambar dalam film diperlukan agar alur cerita dapat berkesinambungan antar pemain dan penonton.
