Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the construction of melancholic character meaning is represented in the film Gundala directed by Joko Anwar through the semiotic approach of Charles Sanders Peirce. The focus of this research is directed toward identifying visual and verbal signs that represent the melancholic characteristics of the main character, as well as interpreting the meanings embedded within those signs. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method using Peirce’s semiotic analysis framework, which consists of three categories: icon, index, and symbol. The data were collected through film observation and in-depth interviews with the director. The findings reveal that the character is constructed as a melancholic figure characterized by doubt, reflectiveness, and emotional depth. This representation is developed through visual signs, such as gloomy facial expressions, dim lighting, and cool color tones, as well as verbal signs in the form of dialogues that reflect inner conflict and hesitation. Therefore, the film can be interpreted as a reflection of human psychological conditions in the midst of social and moral pressures.

Abstract

The documentary film Di Atas Rel Mati portrays the lives of students who study at Master School and the challenges they face due to the partial eviction of the school area by the government for the construction of integrated Jakarta city transportation infrastructure. In order for this film to be effectively conveyed to the audience, it must be supported by a well-developed scenario. A scenario that is clearly delivered can provide stimuli that evoke immediate emotional responses from the audience. The quality of a strong documentary film scenario has the potential to enhance public empathy toward the residents of Master School. This study aims to examine the effect of the documentary film scenario Di Atas Rel Mati on public empathy. The research involved 130 respondents selected through random sampling. The study employed a quantitative research approach using descriptive and verificative methods, with multiple linear regression analysis as the data analysis technique. The results indicate that cinematography, sound system, and resource persons jointly contribute 30.2% to the formation of public empathy, while the remaining 69.8% is influenced by other variables not examined in this study. A high-quality scenario is determined by effective cinematography, an appropriate sound system, and suitable resource persons. The better the quality of the scenario, the greater its potential to enhance public empathy.
