Abstract

The case of Jessica Wongso and the cyanide coffee has become the subject of public debate again since the success of the documentary Ice Cold: Coffee, Murder, and Jessica Wongso by Rob Sixsmith went viral. One of the iconic scenes in the film is the title slate depicting a cup of coffee with blood, which plays a strategic role in framing the narrative and enhancing the film's appeal as a medium for shaping public opinion. This research explored the relationship between the images and text in the title of a documentary film about a criminal case and trial chronology. The research method was qualitative, aiming to understand and describe the complexity of the phenomenon in-depth. This research used Dormehl’s theory (2012) to analyze documentary film types, namely realism and reconstruction, as well as theory of the relationship between image and text to analyze elements in the title slate and text, namely little, close, and beyond in the film by Marsh & White (2003). Six elements were found in the title slate: ‘blood’, ‘glass’, ‘ice’, ‘coffee’, ‘coffee seeds’, and ‘sugar’. The research results indicate that the realism-close relationship was dominant in the data findings. This proved that documentary films can represent reality, and the elements in the title slate represent the overall content of the film. This study can serve as a reference for researching title slates, especially in the context of documentary films.

Abstract

The portrayal and adaptation of characters in movies often reflect societal norms and values, with "blackwashing" emerging as a significant phenomenon. Blackwashing refers to casting black actors in roles traditionally portrayed by white characters, often as part of efforts to promote representation and address historical inequalities. This study explores the types of retroactive continuity (retcon) found in black characters within popular culture films through the perspective of blackwashing. The research employs Hutcheon’s (2013) adaptation theory, which conceptualizes adaptation as creative reinterpretation rather than mere replication, alongside Friedenthal’s (2017) retcon framework and Genette’s (1997) qualitative transformation theory for supplementary analysis. Using a qualitative approach, the study applies the documentation method for data collection and Spradley’s (2016) analysis technique. Seven adapted films (hypertexts) are compared to their original works (hypotexts), revealing three distinct types of retcon: reinterpretation, reinscription, and revision. These findings demonstrate how adaptation practices not only reshape narratives but also challenge traditional representations to align with evolving social values. The findings highlight how adaptation practices reshape narratives to address historical inequalities and enrich representation in media. This research contributes to the understanding of blackwashing as a tool for inclusivity and social progress in film adaptation. Future studies are recommended to explore blackwashing across diverse cultural contexts and genres to deepen insights into its impact on global representation and audience reception.
