The Middle, in this part consist of two elements : rising action and climax.Rising action is the conflict between characters which produced suspense to climax is the highest points of the conflict, and The End, the end is also called resolution. The ending of the story is giving the problem solving all events in society.

(1) Photographic Qualities of Shot

Photograpic Qualities of Shot is part of the process in talking the actions that than united in the movie. Moviemaker can control and manipulate their shot through their light, sound, tone, etc.


(9)

6 (2) Framing of Shot

A frame means the position from which the object in the image by means of the way framing the position the angle, level, height and distance of vantage point into the image. Angle is the position of frame related to the image. Bordwell and Thompson (1990:167) stated in a movie, the frame is not simply a neutral border.

(3) Duration of Shot,

Accoding to Bordwell and Thompson (1990:176) the quality of cinematography is influenced by the duration of shot and the time of the events in the movie. The duration of shot refers to the time in taking events of the movie by camera.

d) Editing

Editing is easy to notice, it is only because of the prevalent technique but also because the disjunction of space, time and graphics made by editing step to the eye attention. Continuity editing can be developed into several parts:

(1) Axis of Action or the 180° Line

It consists of a person walking, two people are conversing, a car racing along a road is assumed to project along a discernible and predictable line (Bordwell and Thompson, 1990:218).

(2) Establishing Shot

b. Individual Psychological Approach

The theory of psychology which is used by the researher is to describe the psychological aspects, is individual psychology proposed by Alfred Adler.Individual psychology is a term used specifically to refer to the psychological method or science founded by the Viennese psychiatrist Alfred Adler (Fall, Holden, & Marquis, 2002). The English edition of Adler's work on the subject (1925) is a collection of papers and lectures given mainly in 1912-1914, and covers the whole


(11)

8

range of human psychology in a single survey, intended to mirror the indivisible unity of the personality.

1) Inferiority Feeling and Compensation

Inferiority feeling is challenge for an individual to strive in his/her life. So, an individual has to struggle for surviving. According to Adler (Hall, 1985: 147), inferiority means feeling weak and unskilled in the face of tasks that need to be completed. Adler in the psychological sphere, which people often stride to compensate not only for organ inferirorities but also subjectivities feelings for inferiority, those arise from uniquely felt psychological pro social disabilities.

2) Striving for Superiority

Everyone has a striving for superiority. It is to make a better life. The striving for superiority occurs at both the individual and the societal levels. We strive for perfection not only as individulas; as members of society, but we strive to perfect our culture. Finally, a person who is living in concern with their social world, they will strive to create a better world (Hjelle, 1992: 144). 3) Fictional Finalism

Every human being has purpose or goal for their life, so every person has to struggle for their life. Struggle has three aspects. The first is to make one’s thought, speech, and action answers the demands of one’s own ideal, while at the same time giving expression to all the impulses and desires which belong to one’s natural being. The next aspect of the struggle with oneself is to fit in with others, with their various ideas and demands. For this a man has to make himself as narrow or as wide as the place that one asks him to fill, which is a delicate matter, difficult for all to comprehend and practise. And the third aspect of the struggle with oneself is to give accommodation to others in one’s own life, in


(12)

9

one’s own heart, large or small as the demand may be. Struggle for life is the implication from fictional finalism.

4) Style of Life

Style for life is the individual opinion him self, the world unique way of striving for the goal in his particular situation and it begins to appear when they try to overcome their difficulties. Style for life refers to the unique pattern of traits, behaviors, and habits, which show the particular ways that a person does to reach his life goal (Hjelle and Ziegler, 1992:74).

5) Social Interest

Human is social creature, they can not live without others. They have to make such kind of clan to get a certain purpose, to continuing their life. Human could not exist for a long time without continuing cooperation among their group. God creates human as social creatures who live in society where many other people live. Social interest can be defined as an attitude of relatedness with humanity in general, as well as empathy for each member of human race. It manifests itself as cooperation with other for social advancement rather than for personal gain (Adler in Feist 1985:34-35).

6) Creative Self

The creative self is responsible for the person’s life goal; it determines the method of striving for the goal and contributes to the development of social interest. This same creative force also dominates the person’s perception, memories, fantasies, and creams. It makes a free or self-determined individual (Hjelle and Ziegler, 1992: 150). The concept of creative self is the expansion of style of life.

a) The Beginning

The movie is beginning when An attack on the sacred city of Alamut is planned by Dastan , an orphan in the Persian Empire adopted by King Sharaman , his royal-blooded adoptive brothers, Tus and Garsiv , and his uncle, Nizam , after Alamut is believed to be selling weapons to Persia's enemies. Dastan leads a surprise attack to open the city's gates to allow the army in during the ensuing battle, Dastan comes into possession of a unique dagger.

Once Tamina finally explains everything about the Dagger, Dastan realizes why Nizam wants the Dagger of Time: to use it with the massive Sandglass to go back in time and undo saving Sharaman from a lion so he could become king. He fabricates the false allegations that Alamut has been dealing weapons to Persia's enemies so that he would have the opportunity to search the city for the Sandglass. However, Tamina warns that opening the Sandglass would release the sands, triggering an apocalyptic sandstorm that would destroy the entire world. Meanwhile, Nizam hires the lethal Hassansins to slay Dastan.

c) Ending

blade and dies. After apologizing for the ransacking of her city, Tus suggests that perhaps Tamina should become Dastan's wife as a sign of good will since he is the "conqueror and savior of her city". Prince Dastan returns the Dagger of Time to Tamina and the two take a walk together. During their conversation, Dastan hints at his knowledge of the dagger's power and tells Tamina that he looks forward to a future with her.

4) Point of View

Point of View is one of the most interesting and basic narrative devices available to the storyteller. It is deciding from whose point(s) of view to tell the story; else likes chronologies, plots, characters, themes, and interpretation flows from this decision. Douglas and Harnden (1996: 31) divide point of view as follows.

5) Theme

3. Individual Psychological Analysis

In the chapter IV the researcher will analyze the main character of

Prince of Persia movie, namely Dastan. The two previous chapters have

explained the theories and the analysis of the structural elements, and the proceeding chapter will be used to determine the psychological analysis, especially Adler’s Individual Psychological analysis.

This analysis is presented through six basic principles of Adler’s theory, which covers individual psychology, namely fictional finalism, inferiority feeling and compensation, striving for superiority, style of life, social interest and creative power.

a. Fictional Finalism

Fictional Finalism is the idea that human behavior is directed toward a future goal of its own making. In Prince of Persia movie, the fictional finalism of Prince Dastan and Princess Tamina as the major character. It is a nature that the goal is based on happiness. The researchers find the happiness in this movie is whe Prince Dastan could prove the truth.

b. Inferiority Feeling and Compensation

In order words, man is pushed by the need to overcome his inferiority and pulled by the desire to be superior (Hall and Lindzey, 1985: 124). People often stride to compensate not only for organ inferiorities but also subjectivities feelings for inferiority; those arise from uniquely felt psychological pro social disabilities. The inferiority feeling and compensation of Prince Dastan in Prince of Persia movie


(25)

22

appears again when he had to work hard to restore time and prove the truth.

c. Striving for Superiority

Striving for Superiority is an effort to overcome feelings of inferiority by doing the things that can develop the self-existence in society. In Prince of Persia movie, striving for superiority appears in the ways he takes to his family's disbelief. Prince Dastan and Prince Tamina work together to prove his brothers.

d. Style of Life

Style of life refers to the unique pattern of traits, behaviors, and habits, which show the particular ways that a person does to reach his life goal. Style of life includes not only the person’s goal, but also self-concept feeling toward others, and attitude toward the world (Feist, 1985:74). Style of life of Prince Dastan is belonging to socially useful type, people with great deal of social interest. He intensely closes to her brothers and honor to his father.

e. Social Interest

In Monte and Sollod (2003: 179), Adler assert that only a person with strong social interest can successfully solve all the problem of life he has. Prince Dastan loved his family so much, even though he have troubled in exonerate her brother, he still want to make a good time with his own family and support them.

f. Creative Self

Creative Self is responsible for the person’s life goal; it determines the method of striving for the goal and contributes to the development of social interest. Prince Dastan and Princess Tamina work together to protect the dagger, but first, they have to learn to trust each other. But his effort paid off, he was be a true prince and married to a beautiful princess.


(26)

23 D. Conclusion and Suggestion

1. Conclusion

After analyzing the movie from the structural elements and the individual psychological approach, the writer then concludes this research paper as follows. First, based on the structural analysis, it is clear that in this movie, the director, Mike Newell deliver a moral message that justice is more important than individual happiness. This movie tells the story of young street orphan, Dastan adopted by the Persian King Sharaman who admires the boy’s strength and courage. Mike adapted and built his movie by employing the right mise-en-scene and proper cinematography so that the movie formed a good unity. Second, based on the individual psychological analysis, it is evident that in this movie, Mike Newell illustrates a psychological phenomenon in which the major character. It is apparent that in this movie, Mikealso also criticized how the police is sometimes arrogant and reckless in implementing law enforcement.

2. Suggestion

Since Prince of Persia movie has not been researched yet by other researchers, the researcher suggests the other researchers to do an analysis of this movie with the other approaches such as Psychoanalytic approach to see the movie with another view. For example, the other researchers can analyze the mental condition of Prince Dastan in facing her problem. Finally the researcher expects that this research paper contributes to the reader references and positive input in literary world

c. Striving for Superiority

Striving for Superiority is an effort to overcome feelings of inferiority by doing the things that can develop the self-existence in society. In Prince of Persia movie, striving for superiority appears in the ways he takes to his family's disbelief. Prince Dastan and Prince Tamina work together to prove his brothers.

Style of life refers to the unique pattern of traits, behaviors, and habits, which show the particular ways that a person does to reach his life goal. Style of life includes not only the person’s goal, but also self-concept feeling toward others, and attitude toward the world (Feist, 1985:74). Style of life of Prince Dastan is belonging to socially useful type, people with great deal of social interest. He intensely closes to her brothers and honor to his father.

e. Social Interest

In Monte and Sollod (2003: 179), Adler assert that only a person with strong social interest can successfully solve all the problem of life he has. Prince Dastan loved his family so much, even though he have troubled in exonerate her brother, he still want to make a good time with his own family and support them.

f. Creative Self

Creative Self is responsible for the person’s life goal; it determines the method of striving for the goal and contributes to the development of social interest. Prince Dastan and Princess Tamina work together to protect the dagger, but first, they have to learn to trust each other. But his effort paid off, he was be a true prince and married to a beautiful princess.
