Peran MIise en Scene dalam Membangun Adegan Humor pada Film The Big 4 Karya Timo Tjahjanto

Abstract

Film combines narrative and cinematic elements, with mise-en-scene  playing a crucial role in shaping visual storytelling. This research  examines how mise-en-scene contributes to humor in The Big 4 by Timo  Tjahjanto, analyzing aspects such as setting, costumes, makeup, lighting,  and staging. Using Bordwell et al.'s mise-en-scene theory and Arthur Asa  Berger's humor techniques—Language, Logic, Identity, and Action—this  qualitative study divides the film into four scenes to identify dominant  humor techniques. Examples include dialogue-based teasing  (Language), absurd situations (Logic), identity contrasts, such as Alpha's  transformation (Identity), and physical comedy, like Dina’s poisoned  antics (Action). The findings highlight how visual elements and humor  techniques work together to enhance storytelling and character  development, demonstrating the integration of mise-en-scene and  comedic elements in creating an engaging cinematic experience. This  study emphasizes the role of mise-en-scene in supporting humor and  enriching audience engagement.
