2. INTRINSIC ELEMENT IN A FILM.
A literature has some elements to support it, for example intrinsic elements. But in this chapter, I just explain about the intrinsic elements. Intrinsic
elements in a literature consist of: theme, characterization, plot, point of view and settings.
2.1 Theme
According to Stanton and Kenny, theme is the meaning that implied in a story. In order to decide the theme of the film, the people should have a clear
definition of theme it self. Theme is a general basic idea that supports literature, and it is implied in the texts as semantics structure and connected with similarities
and differences. Nurgyantoro, Burhan.1998 : 67 Theme is filtered from the motif found in the literary works itself, which
decide the presence of events, conflict, and certain situation. Theme becomes a basic development of whole story, so it must represent the whole part of story of
the film. The people should conclude the whole story to find out the theme of literary work, which ha a wide and abstract generalization.
2.2 Characterization

Another intrinsic element is characterization. Characterization is the description of clean image about someone who appears in a story. It has wide
meaning that characters, because it is including the problem that is the person of the story. Whereas characters just refers to the person in the story. A character is
the people appear in a narrative drama, and the people interpret it as the person who has a moral quality and certain tendency such as being expressed in what
they did. Characters occupy strategic position as the carrier and the teller of messages, moral or something to the people intentionally Nurgyantoro,
Burhan.1998: 165. Character in a film can differentiated into several kinds of the based on point of view. Based on the differences point of view, a character can be
categorized into several at once, foe examples main character-protagonist and main characters antagonist.
Other people like Scott, introducing each of their major people by a paragraph describing detail or physical appearance and another analyzing of moral
and psychological nature. But this form of block characterization may reduce an introductory label. Or the label may turn into a device of mimic or pantomime-
some mannerism, gesture, or saying as in the Charles Dickens, English novelist 1836-1870, recurs whiners the characters reappears, serving as emblematic
accompaniment Generally, there are two kinds of characters in the film, they are main
character and peripheral character. The judgment of characters may be done from the word they express.
Because from their word reflect experience which is related to setting an action
Universitas Sumatera Utara
expressed in the story. The themselves represent full significance that can be appreciated by literary reader, while reading it in relation to this Taylor, Richard
stated 1981 : 62
“A character is mere construction of words meant to express an idea or view express an idea or view
of experience and must be considered in relation of other features of the composition, such as setting
and action, before its significant can be appreciated.”
John Peck and Martin Coyle in their book Literary Terms and Critism 1986 : 105 explained the definition of character as follows :
“Character in literary work are not like real life people for they have been specially created by authors. When
authors create character, they select some aspect of ordinary people. develop some of those aspect whilst
playing down other and put them together as they please, the result is not an ordinary person but a fictional
character who only exist in the words of literary works.”
According the statements above that character is presumably an imagined
person who inhabits a story – although that simple definition mat admit to a view exceptions, but usually, we recognize, in the main characters of the story, human
personalities that become function to us. If the story seems true to life, we generally find that its characters act in a reasonably consistent manner and that the
author has provided them with motivation, sufficient reason to behave as they do.
2.2.1 Main Character and Peripheral character.
Universitas Sumatera Utara
By watching a film, people usually face several characters that appear in the story. But each character has different rolled. Based on the role and level of
importance. There is an essential character being appeared continuously. So, it seems to dominate the story which called main characters central characters.
Main characters are the characters that are emphasized in the film. A main character appears in most of the story, either as subject or object. In certain film,
main characters always appear in almost each event and can be found in each page of film.
On the other hand, there are characters that appear once or something in the story, and maybe relatively in short portion, which is called peripheral
character. Peripheral characters is the characters that is supported the main characters and held an important role to the story of a film.
2.2.2 Protagonist and Antagonist.
Based on the character’s appearance can differentiate into protagonist and antagonist. Protagonist is the character that is admired by the people, popularly he
is called as a hero because he always does ideal role and the rules and the values in society. The readers often identify themselves with this character, give
sympathy and emphasis, and involve themselves in this character emotionally. Protagonist or main character is the central figure of the story. It is not
necessarily clear what being this central figure exactly entails. The terms protagonist, main character and hero are variously and rarely well defined and
depending on the source may denote different concept. The word “protagonist” derives from the Greek protagonists, “one who plays the first part, chief actor.”
Universitas Sumatera Utara
The term protagonist is defined to be either always synonymous with the term main character, or it is defined as a different concept, in which case a single
character still may and usually will serve the function of both the protagonist and main character, or the functions may be split.
In classical and later theater the protagonist is the character undergoing a dramatic change peripeteia, both of his own character and external
circumstances, with the plot either going from order to chaos, as in a tragedy, with reversal of fortune bringing about the downfall of the protagonist, usually an
exceptional individual, as a result of a tragic flaw hamartia in his personality; or from chaos to order, as in a comedy, with the protagonist going from misfortune
to prosperity an from obscurity to prominence. A story about an exceptional character being a driving force behind the
plot, facing an opponent the antagonist and undergoing an important change like it is the case with the protagonist may be told from the perspective of different
character who may, but will not necessarily also be the narrator. The principal opponent of the protagonist is a character known as the antagonist
who represents or creates obstacles that the protagonist must overcome. As with protagonists, there may be more than one antagonist in a story.
An antagonist from Greek antagonists, “opponent, competitor, rival” is a
character or group of characters, or, sometimes an institution of a happening who represents the opposition against which the protagonist must contend. In the
classic style of story where in the action consist of a hero fighting a villain, the
Universitas Sumatera Utara
antagonist is not always the villain, but simply those who oppose the main character.
2.2.3 Round character and Flat character
Round character is a character who shows many different facets ; often presented in depth and with great detail. The basic of trait of round character are
that they recognized, change with, or adjust to circumstances. The round character –usually the main figure in a story –profits from experience and undergoes a
change or alteration, which may be shown in 1 an action or actions, 2 the realization of new strength and therefore the affirmation of previous decisions, 3
the acceptance of a new condition, or 4 the discovery of unrecognized truths.Robert,2003:133. Because round of they usually play a major role in a
story. Round characters are often called the hero or heroine. Many main
characters are anything but heroic, however, and it is therefore preferable to use the more neutral word protagonist. The protagonist is central to the action, moves
against an antagonist, and exhibits the ability to adapt to new circumstances. To the degree that around characters are both individual and sometimes
unpredictable, and because they undergo change or growth, they are dynamic. Flat character is a character who usually has only one outstanding trait or
feature. In contrast, flat characters do not grow. They remain the same because they may be stupid or insensitive or lacking in knowledge or insight. They end
Universitas Sumatera Utara
where they begin and are static, not dynamic. But flat characters are not therefore worthless, for they usually highlight the development of the round characters.
Sometimes flat characters are prominent in certain types of literature, such as cowboys, police, and detective stories, where the focus is less on character than
on performance. Such character might be lively engaging, even though they do not develop or change. They must be strong, tough, and clever enough to perform
recurring tasks like solving a crime, overcoming a villain, or a finding a treasure. The term stock character refers to characters in these To the degree that stock
characters have many common traits, they are representative of their class, or group. Such characters with variations in names, ages, and sexes, have been
constant in literature since the ancient Greek.
2.2.4 Typical and Neutral Character
Based on the reflecting story character toward human real life, story character can be distinguished into typical character and neutral character. Typical
character is the character who show less individuality and more job’s quality or something represented. Typical character is the description, reflecting or
performance toward person or a group of tied people in a committee in real world. The description is indirectly and not whole and reader guess it based on
knowledge, experience, and their opinion toward the character in real world and their understanding toward story character in fiction world.

In another side, the neutral character is the story character who has existence for the story. HeShe is the real imaginer character who live in fiction world. HeShe
presents for the story even heshe the owner of the story, action of story. Their presence does not represent or show something out of themselves one who is from
real world. At least, the reader get difficulty to guess it as the represented because there is no evidence of reflecting from reality.
The characterization of story character typically can be seen as reaction, opinion, accepting, guessing of composer toward human character in real world.
The opinion may sound negatively as seen in teasing, critical, and even caricatured story.
The typical characterization which is not concerned with intentional and implicit meaning that told by the composer to the reader. The composer not only
give reaction or opinion through that typical character, but also shows their attitude toward character, character’s problem or its own action at once.
Typical character in a novel maybe only one or some people, for example the main character or peripheral character. The typication of character does not
need involve all their presence even it is impossible. There is only little aspect concerns with their self. For example, their reaction and action about something.
The problem or conflict their faces, the action and word, the particular actions, etc.
The typication in other side does not only show shehe has life attitude but there is character who has attitude, characteristic, action, problem, event, etc who
told in a novel which has the similarity characteristics happen in real world. Thus,
Universitas Sumatera Utara
typical character has characteristic such as life, however life like character is not certain typical character.
