Abstract:
Filmmakers use mise-en-scène to create and achieve realism. There are four essential elements in mise-en-scène, which are setting, costume and makeup, lighting and staging, acting, and movement. No dialogue short film relies on these elements to deliver the message and accentuate the details that have signs. In acting and movement elements, the actors will be immersive their roles and characteristics to express the emotions expressed in their behaviors; gestures, facial expressions, gaze, bodily movement, and appearance. When the actors perform the gesture to express the emotions, the audience would feel the same way as actors feel.
A gesture is formed in three stages. First, information is chosen and has to be shown. Second, the generation of a motor program for a specific and obvious gesture. Third, the execution of the motor program. A gesture is an activity of a movement to express the emotion and idea to make a sign language. Moreover, the dynamic of a relationship happens in how the character "sees" another character at the moment. Therefore, the writer implements the theory about the gesture of characters in a dynamic relationship to intensify the emotions in Stupor short film.
