  • CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Film Is A
    1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Film is a visual form of dominant mass communication because they are able to reach many social segments, as well as having the potential to affect the audience. This is because the contents of the message brought by the film can influence and shape society based on a story that is brought behind the film and not vice-versa. Being the content of the film is a record of reality that grows and develops in the community and then project it to go back in the direction the big screen. The film as a representation of reality society where, the film is a portrait of the reality of a society in which the film was made and brought back in shaping reality of a society based on the codes, conventions, and the ideology of culture wide. ( Irawanto, 1999: 14). Nowadays, there are so many books adapted to movie, but certainly they have changed. The film director intentionally changed the movie because he or she had different point of view. Film is a more sensory experience than reading, beside verbal language, there is also color, movement, and sound. Yet film is also limited: for one thing, there are no time constraints on a novel, while a film must generally compress events into two hours or so. For another, the meaning of a novel is controlled by only one person (the author) while the meaning we get from a film is the result of a collaborative effort by a large number of people.
