THE APPLICATION OF THE MELODRAMA PLOT STRUCTURE THEORY TO INCREASE LACK OF AFFECTION IN “TEMUKAN HIDUPKU” SCRIPTWRITING

Abstract

This study investigates how the melodrama plot structure theory can be implemented into a script titled "Temukan Hidupku." Utilizing a qualitative approach, the analysis delves deeply into two strategies: narrative strategy and visual strategy. The narrative strategy is divided into three acts and a climax, emphasizing key elements such as background, conflict, resolution, and a tragic ending. The visual strategy aims to enhance and support dramatic effects in the story. Findings reveal that the concept of broken home plays a significant role in shaping dramatic elements. The implications of this study underscore the importance of applying the melodrama plot structure theory to create dramatic elements in the script "Temukan Hidupku," offering insights for audiences on how dramatic elements can influence emotions and reactions.
