Abstract: This qualitative study aims to analyze the youth representation in five versions of SilverQueen television advertisements and reveal the ideologies reflected in such representation. The data are five versions of SilverQueen television advertisements which are

broadcasted in Indonesia from 2002 until 2012. The theories used in this study are Barthes’

orders of signification (1957) and the theory of visual elements proposed by Dyer (1996). The findings of the study show that youth is represented in five versions of SilverQueen television advertisements (2002-2012) through similar ways. Youth is represented in SilverQueen television advertisements through three visual elements (actor, setting, and property): (1) the attractive young people as actors and actresses of the advertisements who are estimated to be about 18-25 years old. They wear casual clothes which represent informality and some accessories which make their appearances look more attractive; (2) the choices of setting which mostly take place outdoors represent the youth’s interest for spending their free time outdoors and enjoying nature; and (3) the choices of property reflect that young people love to relax, hang out with their friends, and have interest for exploration and visiting places. In terms of ideologies, this study found two ideologies behind such representation, namely freedom and hedonism.

Keywords: youth, representation, television advertisement, ideology

Abstrak: Penelitian yang bersifat kualitatif ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis representasi anak muda dalam lima versi iklan televisi SilverQueen dan mengungkap ideologi di balik representasi tersebut. Data penelitian ini terdiri dari lima versi iklan televisi SilverQueen yang disiarkan dari tahun 2002 sampai dengan 2012 di Indonesia. Teori yang digunakan di penelitian ini adalah teori urutan pemaknaan (orders of signification) yang dikemukakan oleh Barthes (1957) dan teori elemen visual yang dikemukakan oleh Dyer (1996). Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam lima versi iklan SilverQueen (2002-2012), anak muda direpresentasikan dengan cara yang sama. Anak muda direpresentasikan dalam lima iklan tersebut melalui tiga elemen visual (aktor, setting, dan properti): (1) pemilihan anak-anak muda yang berpenampilan menarik dan diperkirakan berumur sekitar 18-25 tahun sebagai aktor dan aktris. Mereka mengenakan pakaian santai yang merepresentasikan ketidakformalan dan beberapa aksesoris yang membuat penampilan mereka terlihat lebih menarik; (2) pemilihan setting yang kebanyakan berlokasi di luar ruangan merepresentasikan ketertarikan anak muda untuk menghabiskan waktu luangnya di luar ruangan dan menikmati alam, dan (3) pemilihan properti yang merefleksikan bahwa anak muda suka bersantai, bergaul dengan teman-temannya, dan memiliki ketertarikan akan eksplorasi tempat. Dalam

INTRODUCTION

This chapter presents the introduction of the present study. It covers the background of the study, research questions, aims of the study, scope of the study, significance of the study, clarification of key terms, and organization of the paper.

1.1 Background of the Study

Nowadays, a large number of television advertisements use young people as their models. Some famous products such as Coca Cola, Beng Beng, Pocari Sweat, Indosat

IM3 and any other products use young people as their television advertisement’s

models. The tendency to use young people as models is probably motivated by the fact that young people have particular special qualities or images which can help the advertised products to get attention from television viewers. According to Mayo (2011), some core characteristics of young people today are bright, creative, optimist, good at sharing, global learners, active participant and question asker. Thus, those positive qualities will eventually attract the television viewers to pay attention to the advertisements.

Meanwhile, advertisement is one of the most effective media to communicate with everyone in this world. Oxford Dictionary online (2014) defines ‘advertisement’ as a notice or announcement in a public medium promoting a product, service, or event or publicizing a job vacancy. Advertisement can be anywhere, it can be in the radio, the newspaper, Internet, and television. In many industries, advertisement is used to help the company markets their products. Moreover, advertisement also has a significant role to persuade people. Advertisement is used to convey certain messages, and sometimes some symbols are used to support the delivery of those


(14)

Novia Mayasari, 2015

A SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS OF YOUTH REPRESENTATION IN SILVERQUEEN TELEVISION ADVERTISEMENTS

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu

messages to the people. Therefore, those messages and symbols need to be considered.

Advertisement not only promotes products, but it also indicates the ideology of a society. The notion of 'ideology' is commonly used in the social sciences, such as in politics and mass media (Van Dijk, 2000). Wodak and Meyer (2009, p.8) define ideology as “a logical and relatively standard set of beliefs or values”. Furthermore, Eagleton (1991) states that ideology is the process of producing meanings, signs and values in the social life. Therefore, ideology can be said as some beliefs and values shared in a certain society.

Ideology can be viewed through representation in advertisements. According to Chandler (2007), representation is the formation of reality in any medium. Additionally, Hall (1997) states that representation is a medium of social construction of meaning and values which is used by a group of people in a culture. In short, representation can be said as a medium that transmits reality to the society.

It appears interesting to analyze how youth is represented in SilverQueen television advertisements because SilverQueen television advertisements put a group of young people as the character or actor in their television advertisements from time to time. SilverQueen can be categorized as a famous brand of chocolate product in Indonesia which is owned by Petra Foods company. As seen in their television advertisements, the target market of SilverQueen products is presumably youth.

Therefore, this study attempts to investigate the representation of youth in

SilverQueen television advertisements and reveal the ideology reflected in such

representation. This study is limited to analyzing five SilverQueen television advertisements. The five versions of SilverQueen television advertisements chosen in this study are SilverQueen ‘Road Trip’ (2002), SilverQueen ‘Ocean’ (2004), SilverQueen ‘Balloon’ (2007), SilverQueen ‘Moveable Feast’ (2009), and


(15)

Novia Mayasari, 2015

A SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS OF YOUTH REPRESENTATION IN SILVERQUEEN TELEVISION ADVERTISEMENTS

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu

SilverQueen ‘Beautiful Journey’ (2012). This study analyzes how youth is represented in those television advertisements through the visual elements found in those advertisements, namely actor, setting, and property. Those visual elements are analyzed by using Dyer’s theories of visual elements (1996).

Furthermore, a semiotics theory about the orders of signification proposed by Barthes (1957) is chosen as the tool of analysis of this study. There are three levels of meaning of Barthes’ signification orders: denotation (first order), connotation (second order), and myth or ideology (third order or the combination of denotation and connotation).

There are some studies about representation and ideology in advertisement had been conducted by some researchers, for example, Correa (2011), Martiana (2012) and Ririn (2011). First, Correa (2011) used a semiotic analysis to investigate how Indian television advertisements construct gender identity. The theory used in this study is the rhetoric of the image by Barthes (1977). The findings of this study show that Indian television advertisements emphasizes the traditional role of women as a wife and mother and tend to position men as a group which dominates the public sphere.

Second, Martiana (2012) conducted a study about how the new A Mild television advertisements represent the spirit of youth. This study used Barthes’ orders of signification as the guidance theory. The findings of this study shows that those television advertisements used young models in order to represent the spirit of youth, the use of warm (grey) color saturation that signifies young people as being hopeful, and the use of cool colors (green and light blue) to signify youth. Third, Ririn (2011) conducted a study to reveal the ideology in Axe Chocolate television advertisement. This study used Barthes’ model of sign to analyze each scene of Axe Chocolate

television advertisement. The findings of this study shows that masculinity appears as the ideology in Axe Chocolate television advertisement. Masculinity is considered


(16)

Novia Mayasari, 2015

A SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS OF YOUTH REPRESENTATION IN SILVERQUEEN TELEVISION ADVERTISEMENTS

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu

both as positive and negative ideology. It is because in one side, masculinity itself is not contradictory with Indonesian culture, while in another side, masculinity values in Axe Chocolate television advertisement are narrowed down into the area of sexuality only.

1.2 Research Questions

This study attempts to answer two questions as follows:

1. How is youth represented in SilverQueen television advertisements? 2. What are the ideologies reflected in such representation?

1.3 Aims of the Study

Based on the research questions stated above, this study aims to:

1. Analyze the representation of youth in SilverQueen television advertisements.

2. Reveal the ideologies reflected in such representation.

1.4 Scope of the Study

This study only focuses on analyzing five versions of SilverQueen television advertisements which are broadcasted in Indonesia, namely SilverQueen ‘Road Trip’ (2002), SilverQueen ‘Ocean’ (2004), SilverQueen ‘Balloon’ (2007), SilverQueen ‘Moveable Feast’ (2009), and SilverQueen ‘Beautiful Journey’ (2012). This study focuses on analyzing how youth is represented in that advertisement and the ideology behind it based on semiotics analysis. Therefore, it does not cover any other advertisement of brand of chocolate bar which are distributed in Indonesia.

1.5 Significance of the Study

The results of this study are expected to offer new insights on youth’s representation in advertisement and forms of ideologies involved. The writer also hopes that the

result of this study will be useful for the readers in general and helps the advertising industry to develop their advertisements.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter provides the research methodology which was employed in the study. It covers the research design, data collection, and data analysis.

3.1 Research Design

This study employed a qualitative method. This method is appropriate for this study because this study uses videos of SilverQueen television advertisements as the data and focuses on describing, analyzing, and interpreting the youth representation in

SilverQueen television advertisements. According to Denzin & Lincoln (2005), a

qualitative research requires a collection of interpretive and natural setting which is used to rationalize and interpret phenomenon in terms of human life’s meaning. In addition, Creswell (2009) says that qualitative research occurs in natural settings, where human behaviour and events occur. He also says that a study which involves visual materials data collection and interpretive information of overall findings can be categorized as a qualitative research.

Specifically, this present study employs a semiotic theory about the orders of signification proposed by Barthes (1957). There are three orders of signification: The first order of signification is denotation which consists of a signifier and a signified, the second order is connotation which consists of a signifier (signifier and signified of the denotative sign) and an additional signified attached to it, and the third order of signification is a myth or ideology (the combination of denotation and connotation). Denotation and connotation were used to analyze how youth is represented in five versions of SilverQueen television advertisements which are broadcasted in Indonesia since 2002 until 2012, while myth or ideology was used to reveal the ideologies reflected in such representation.

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu

Moreover, this present study also employed some theories from other theorists to reveal connotative meanings of the visual elements of television advertisements such as actor, setting and property proposed by Dyer (1996).

3.2 Data Collection a. Data Resources

The data were in the form of videos of Silver Queen television advertisements. There were five versions of Silver Queen television advertisements selected in this study and they are broadcasted in Indonesia:

1. SilverQueen ‘Road Trip’ version (2002) (duration: 32 seconds)

3. SilverQueen ‘Balloon’ version (2007) (duration: 31 seconds)

4. SilverQueen ‘Moveable Feast’ version (2009) (duration: 29 seconds) 5. SilverQueen ‘Beautiful Journey’ version (2012) (duration: 31 seconds)

All the advertisements were downloaded from www.youtube.com. Those advertisements were selected because those advertisements contain the issue of youth representation. After that, some scenes contain the issue of youth representation in each of those five television advertisements would be selected.

3.3 Data Analysis

Three steps were accomplished in order to analyze the data. Firstly, five videos of SilverQueen televisions advertisements were downloaded from www.youtube.com and selected as the data. Secondly, those five versions of

SilverQueen television advertisements were watched and observed closely and

carefully. Specifically, the scenes which contain the issue of youth representation were selected. Thirdly, those scenes which contain the youth representation were captured and put in tabular form.

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS

This chapter is the last section of the study. It draws the conclusion of the present study and presents suggestions for further studies.

5.1 Conclusion

This study has investigated youth representation in five versions of

SilverQueen television advertisements and reveal the ideologies reflected in such

representation. The five versions of SilverQueen television advertisements chosen in this study are SilverQueen ‘Road Trip’ (2002), SilverQueen ‘Ocean’ (2004),

SilverQueen ‘Balloon’ (2007), SilverQueen ‘Moveable Feast’ (2009), and

SilverQueen ‘Beautiful Journey’ (2012). This study employs a semiotic theory about the orders of signification proposed by Barthes (1957) and the theory of visual elements proposed by Dyer (1996).

Based on the analysis of three visual elements (actor, setting, and property) found in the five versions of SilverQueen television advertisements, it can be concluded that the youth is represented in those SilverQueen television advertisements through similar ways.Youth is represented in SilverQueen television advertisements through three visual elements (actor, setting, and property).

Firstly, the choices of the actors and the actresses used in the five SilverQueen television advertisements are attractive young people who are estimated to be about 18-25 years old. They wear casual clothes which represent informality and some accessories which make their appearances look more attractive. Meanwhile, there are also some dominant colors used in the actors and actresses’ clothes and accessories, namely white, brown, red, green, and dark blue. Those colors are perceived as the

portrayal of positive characteristics of youth in those five advertisement. Through those colors, young people are represented as those who are active, strong, brave, affectionate, fresh, sincere, and cooperative.

Secondly, the choices of setting of SilverQueen television advertisements are always outdoors, namely the road, the beach, the bridge, the ocean, the island, the meadow, the lakeside, the cliff, the woods, and the seashore. Those choices of setting

represent the youth’s interest for spending their free time to do activities outdoors and

relaxing in nature. Through those choices of setting, youth is also represented as those who love to spend their free time to hang out with their friends outdoors.

Thirdly, in those five televison advertisements, youth is also represented through the use of some property, namely convertible car, buggy car, Volkswagen kombi car, boat, bicycle, hot air balloon, hammock, the guitar, bonfire, couch, and camera. Through those choices of property, youth is desribed as those who love to be free, relax and have leisure time outdoors, explore things, visit places, and hang out and have fun with their friends.

Furthermore, there are two ideologies reflected in youth representation in those five versions of SilverQueen television advertisements, namely freedom and hedonism. Freedom is viewed because young people described in those five versions of SilverQueen television advertisements are those who freely do what they want and go wherever they want without being guided or influenced by any authority figure. It can be seen that in those five television advertisements, young people are described as those who can do what they want, namely take a road trip, sail a boat, and fly in a hot air balloon without any involvement from any authority figure.

Hedonism is the second ideology reflected in youth representation in those television advertisements. Youth representation in SilverQueen television advertisements reflects hedonism because all of those television advertisements only

highlight the ways young people have fun and pursue pleasure. It can be seen that all of those television advertisements only focus on one side of youth’s life, the ways they enjoy their free time in order to find happiness and pleasure.

5.2 Suggestions

Based on the conclusion of the present study, there is a list of suggestions for further studies regarding youth representation, visual elements, and television advertisement as follows:

1. The next researchers could try to discover other visual elements of television advertisements which can be analyzed in order to broaden the scope of the study.

2. The next researchers should use other theories which could support the analysis in order to enrich the results of the study.

3. In general, research regarding youth representation is still rare to find.

Thus, it is hoped that those who are interested in analyzing representation in the mass media should conduct research regarding youth representation in more various kinds of mass media.
