In inner city London, a street dance crew is on the verge of breaking up after its leader, Jay (Ukweli Roach) leaves the group unexpectedly. The group loses the use of their rehearsal space, forcing them to try to raise money or practice in other locations. Eventually they secure a space in a ballet school, on the condition that they include five ballet dancers in their routine. At first, they struggle to get along, but they all become friends in the end.

One of the teachers at the ballet school, Helena (Charlotte Rampling), takes Carly (Nichola Burley) to a ballet where she starts getting ideas for their routine. When she arrives home, Carly finds Jay waiting for her and the two spend the night together. During a dance battle in a club the next night, the teams learn that Jay has betrayed the team by joining The Surge, a rival crew.

Jay brags about his sex with Carly and Tomas (Richard Winsor), a ballet dancer, punches Jay out of anger. Jay is furious and swears revenge. Carly, upset over the betrayal, leaves the club and is nearly hit by a car before

Tomas pulls her out of the way. Tomas then takes Carly back to his apartment where they dance on the roof, eventually kissing. Carly then leaves him alone on the roof, while they both look at the sunrise and smile.

The next day at the school, Carly announces the new name of their dance crew: Breaking Point. Another teacher at the school, outraged that her students are being corrupted, deliberately plans a Royal Ballet audition for the same day as the street dance finals. The ballet dancers promise Carly they will make it, but the auditions were running overtime. 3

In an attempt to give Breaking Point more time to wait for the ballet dancers, Carly's friend Eddie (George Sampson) goes out onto the dance floor and starts dancing, surprising the crew and wowing the audience. The ballet teams turn up at the final anyway, and their teacher Helena drives the judges to the final so they can see the dancers perform. The routine is a success,

Carly and Tomas kiss during the performance, and the crowd is enthralled.

Jay is furious that The Surge has been beaten and he's lost Carly.

The responses of public of these volumes are in variation, Ashleti stated in Street Dance movie that

“When I saw the first title "Street Dance 3D" I seriously thought this trailer was a joke, like a spoof movie. I thought there was no way this could be a serious movie when the title alone is such an obvious rip off "Step Up 3D.' Sadly I've overestimated the film industry.”

Camilla Lindqvist and groterichard stated in Street Dance,

Love this movie! This movie is good !

According to the explanation above, literary work has the same significance in meaning as understanding human’s emotion with inner-self problem. Since literature is the exposition of human emotion, it can be said that literary works has relationship to psychology. Literary works and psychology have the same object of the research that s human being.

According to Adler in (Ryckman 1985:95), individual psychology is a science that attempts to understand the experiences and behavior of each person as an organized entity. He believes further that all actions are guided by a person’s fundamental attitudes toward life. 4

In the other statements Adler in (Feist 1985:64) states that individual psychology insists on fundamental unity of personality. All apparent dichotomies and multiplicities of life are organized in one self-consistent totally. No definite division can be made between mind and body, between conscious and unconscious or between reason and emotion: All behavior is seen in relation to the final goal of superiority or success. This goal gives direction and unity to the individual.

In Psychological theory there are many emotions. Different people have different emotional expression in their life. According to Atwater (1983:80),

“an emotion is a complex state of awareness involving inner sensations and outer expressions that has the power to motivate us to act. According to

Feldman, (2003:268) Emotion in a general definition is feelings that generally have both psychological and cognitive elements and that influence behavior.

Cannon-Bard theory, and Schechter’s Cognitive Theory. The writer wants to apply the psychological theory as the base problems analysis in the study.

spectator. Making a movie is different from making novel, poetry, and drama.

Making a movie needs a lot of time and needs a professional team work which cooperates with others, a team work involves many people as a crew.

A crew has a different function and the job in the process of making movie. Movie has many elements such as a director, costume, producer, costume designer, lighting, cameramen, scriptwriter, producers, artist and actors, music composer. Besides, it also needs some techniques and terminologies to understand it, including signs, editing, sound, mise-en- scence, and cinematography.
