PHENOMENOLOGICAL THEORY IN DOCUMENTARY FILM AGOES NOOR

Abstract

Phenomenology is a theory where the author must get rid of the knowledge, understanding, beliefs, attitudes, and presumptions in writing phenomena or events experienced by the subject of writing. This theory aims to understand and interpret how the resource person views the phenomena they experienced in detail, without being influenced by the author's bias. This theory is used in the documentary film Agoes Noor for searching and selecting the appropriate resource person. By using this theory, a deep information about the resource person's life story can be easily extracted, which is then analyzed and interpreted to be processed into a film scenario that can authentically convey the story of Agus Nur, the street painter.
