PEMBENTUKAN STRUKTUR PLOT FILEM MUZIKAL MAGIKA 2010 MELALUI CIRI DAN FUNGSI LAGU DALAM ELEMEN NARATIF TODOROV

Abstract

The musical film genre is a form of entertainment film guided in the form of singing and accompanied by diagetic and non-diagetic music that forms the plot structure of a story. Each song that is sung works in moving the plot of the story so that it is easily understood and accepted by the watching audience. However, the difficulty in deepening and understanding the musical arrangement of the narrative plot will cause the plot narrative to be uninteresting and boring. Therefore, to understand the formation of the plot structure through the characteristics and functions of the song, the researcher has applied Todorov's narrative elements to 2 songs from the musical film Magika (2010) as a case study analysis. The selection of Magika films is based on the achievements of films that have won awards for best film and best original music score at the 23rd Malaysian Film Festival. The research method is conducted through interviews in stages by interviewing several film directors and composers, notes and observations of the film Magika (2010). Then the analysis study is also done by using the theory of Conceptual Integration Networks in studying the meaning of the lyrics. As a result of the research update, the researcher found that the narrative formation of the plot of the musical film Magika is due to the songs sung by all the characters that are built from song elements and plot structure through Todorov's narrative theory. The results of this study also provide implications for film makers, educators, and students in understanding the importance of song functions in the musical film genre.
