Abstract

The documentary film Suster Apung tells the story of the struggle of a nurse serving in a remote area of Indonesia. This film highlights the dedication and sacrifice of medical personnel who face numerous challenges in delivering healthcare services to underserved communities. To effectively convey its message to the audience, a documentary must be supported by a well-constructed screenplay. A strong screenplay serves as a stimulus capable of eliciting immediate emotional responses from viewers. The quality of a documentary's screenplay can significantly enhance public empathy toward the individuals and communities portrayed. This study aims to examine the influence of the Suster Apung documentary’s screenplay on public empathy, using a sample of 130 randomly selected respondents. The research employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive-verificative method, analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that cinematography, sound design, and the selection of interview subjects contribute 30.2% to the development of empathy, while the remaining 69.8% is influenced by other variables not examined in this study. The results suggest that the quality of a documentary's screenplay is shaped by effective cinematography, appropriate sound design, and relevant sources. The better the screenplay quality, the higher the potential for fostering audience empathy

Abstract

Song as a medium of communication not only conveys messages in an aesthetic manner but is also rich in profound meanings that can be analyzed through a semiotic approach. This study aims to reveal the motivational meanings contained in the lyrics of Manusia Kuat by Tulus using Ferdinand de Saussure’s semiotic framework. This approach examines signs through two main elements, namely the signifier and the signified, in order to uncover the relational meaning within the structure of the lyrics. The findings indicate that the song embodies strong motivational messages, such as perseverance, resilience, and confidence in human strength when facing life’s challenges. Lyrics such as “kita ini manusia kuat” and “kamu bukan debu yang diam” represent symbols of spirit and self-empowerment. In conclusion, through its linguistic symbols and connotative meanings, Manusia Kuat successfully articulates motivation that inspires listeners to become resilient and optimistic individuals.
