C. Character, Characterization, and Film
There are so many correlations between character and characterization. Because character seems to be the base of the characterization. If the character is
the person who play in a play roll, while the characterization is how the character characterizes the character plays or how the character is described.
I.Character
Character is someone who acts, appears or is referred to as playing a part in literary work.
17
a character also can be defined as a person represented in play, drama, story, etc. In literature a character is a personage in a novel, short story,
drama, or person.

II. Characterization
Characterization is the act of characterizing and the delineation or creation of character in a play and story. Characterization means how the writer tells reader
about the physical and non physical characteristic of the person told in the story.
18
Characterization is the process of creating character in fiction. The manners of describing can be done through the events, author direct statement, character
direct statement, conversation, and though statement from others character.
19
Characterization can involve developing a variety of aspect of a character, such as appearance, age, gender, educational level, occupation, financial status, marital
status, religious belief, ambition, motivation, characterization is an element of the discourse. Characterization is the process of conveying information about
character in fiction. Character are usually presented through their action, dialect, and thought as well as by description. Characterization can be regarded a variety
of aspects of a character such as appearance, age, gender, educational level, occupation, financial status, cultural background, hobbies, sexual orientation,
religious belief, ambitions, motivations, personality, and so on. Meanwhile characterization is portraying of clear picture about someone, which present in a
story. Characterization means how the writer tells the reader about physical and non
physical characteristic of the person told in the story. Characterization or personality is defined as in fiction by what the character do, by what they say, by

what others say about them and setting in which they move. The character are also defined in part by other character as whom they in some degree resemble or from
whom they in some degree differ.
III. Film
Robert P.Kolker in “The Film Text and Film Form” on The Oxford Guide to Film Studies said that the preference to think of the film as a kind of self
constructed presence, full of story, characters, and emotion. A film is there, complete, full
, and waiting for people‟s gaze.
20
Kolker in his writing “the film text
and film form” said further that the film making is more difficult that it appears because the influence of film on the life of the society is so great, therefore the
film is important to be explained. Understanding film seems to be something easy. Strictly speaking just by watching the film until the end of the story. People could
get what the film is talking about. Actually film is more than that. It‟s all about the aspects that build the film it self as a complex object to be described.
Therefore there is no specific semantics meaning describe the film theory. Related to this statement, Robert Stam in his film theory, an Introduction said
film theory is rarely pure. It is usually laced with admixture of literary criticism, social commentary, and philosophical speculation.
21
Stam continued that to slightly modify the formulation film theory is an envolving body of concepts
designed to account for the cinema in all its dimension for an interpretative community of scholars, critics, and interested spectators.
