D. Character and Characterization in Film
In every story—whether it’s in a literary, fairy tale or movie—there’s a representation oh human being as the agent who plays in the story, it’s called as a
character. A character usually refers to human, animal or thing that has function to play its rule in a story. And every character has variety values to make a story
seems real, understandable, and worth caring about; the values could be moral, emotional, intellectual, or appearance value.

To give impressive values toward character is called as characterization. Characterization in film is different with
characterization in literary works because film is a visual story telling so that the characterization of a character in film more complicated and more detailed than in
literary. Characterization of a character in a film can be given in some ways; such
as characterization through appearance, dialogue, through external and internal action, and through reaction of other characters. And even setting has contribution

as the characterization of a character in a film; it can be a determiner of character and reflection of character.

Characterization in film has a great deal to do with casting since the minute viewers usually see most actor on the screen, they make certain
assumptions about tem because of their facial features, dress, physical build, and mannerisms and they way they move; it’s called as characterization through
appearance. And the next characterization in film is through dialogue; characters in film naturally reveal a great deal about themselves by what they say and they
say it, in other words, the values of character could be interpreted through their word choice when they talk to others characters. Even appearance is an important
measure of a character’s personality, but the reflections of appearance are often misleading. So, another aspect that could be considered is their action in facing
some situations; it’s kind of characterization through external action. The reactions of other characters are also influence viewers in interpreting the
characterization of certain character.
