CHAPTER 3 CONCLUSIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS, AND IMPLICATIONS
This chapter
consists of
three sub-chapters,
the conclusions,
recommendations, and implications. The conclusions are the summary of the findings of the study. The recommendations are the writer’s recommendations for the future
researchers. The implications are the reflection on the meaning and the implications of the study for educational purposes.
A. Conclusions
Having analyzed the meaning of Kowalski’s presence for Dr. Stone in
Cuaron’s Gravity film in chapter 2, this mise-en-scène or staging analysis has come to an end. The writer has revealed the answers of the two formulated problems. Those
are ”What is the literal meaning of Kowalski’s presence for Dr. Stone?” and “What is the deeper meaning of
Kowalski’s presence for Dr. Stone through mise-en-scène film study analysis?”
The literal meaning of Kowalski’s presence for Dr. Stone is that Kowalski
serves as an instrument for Dr. Stone to move forward and let go her sorrow that has eclipsed her life for far too long. The deeper meaning of
Kowalski’s presence for Dr. Stone through mise-en-scène
is revealed that Kowalski’s presence reminds the writer of the presence of a sincere and faithful companion which is later related to an image
of the stars. Since this study involves mise-en-scène or staging analysis on the
selected frames, the portr ayal of the stars in Kowalski’s presence can be seen on the
three elements of staging, namely camera angle, the placement of object or character, and the dominant color of the frame. This hidden and deeper meaning of Kowalski’s
presence is quite difficult to be depicted by only watching the whole film, but careful look on certain image of the film by analyzing its staging elements can reveal its
deeper meaning.
B. Recommendations
1. Recommendation for Future Researchers
The writer is aware that this study is lack of perfection . Cuaron’s Gravity is
full of surprises. There are so many other hidden meaning needs to be found. The writer recommends to future researcher to analyze this film using other elements of
mise-en-scene or staging analysis.
2. Recommendation for Teaching Learning Process
Film is the best combinations of art, technique, and literature. It is also one of many ways to learn English. Gravity is only one of the thousands examples of good
film. It contains life values, and moral principles. It creates critical thinking of a student to the next level of combining most of the senses onto a film by watching the
film and analyzing the values.
C. Implications
Gravity is a wonderful film. The film tells about two astronauts, Kowalski and Dr. Stone, struggling to survive a catastrophe. Their life depends on each other, but
Kowalski chooses to sacrifice his life to save Dr. Stone. Kowalski here portrays himself as a star to guide Dr. Stone to survive the catastrophe. In the story, it can be
seen that Kowalski plays a great significant role in the story. He gives Dr. Stone new hope to her life, and teaches her the purpose of life.
In addition, the importance of the purpose of life is about hope. Every person in this world has a hope in their life. Hope is something that gives human the reason
and the destination to live on. According to Snyder 1994, hope has three components: having goal-oriented thoughts, developing strategies to achieve goals,
and being motivated to expend effort to achieve goals. Having realized these components, an individual will certainly develop the sense of hope; believing their
purpose and objective to be fought. In education, the purpose of life can be related to the reasons of why there
must be teachers. Teachers have their role as their purpose of life to complete one another through teaching, to be a star while their students are the traveler. Teachers
are not meant to teach, get paid and survive; but they should also give meaning of what they teach. Therefore, teachers are supposed to be the role models, the life-
changing ones that change the bad to be good, the lost to be found, and the good to be the
best.
