Karakterisasi Tokoh Utama Film Das Privileg karya Felix Fuchssteiner dan Katharina Schöne

Abstract

This research aims to describe the characterization of the main character in the horror genre film "Das Privileg" using the characterization methods of Pickering and Hoeper. A qualitative descriptive method is applied, focusing on the analysis of characterization by exploring the audiovisual data of the film, including the behavior, environment, attitudes, conflicts, and interactions of the main character. The research results show that the characterization of the main character predominantly uses indirect characterization compared to direct characterization. Finn's characterization includes visual appearance and interactions of the main character. The main character Finn successfully brings the horror element as a victim, evoking feelings of fear, curiosity, guilt, disgust, and surprise. The use of locations and atmospheres such as clinics, hospitals, and riverbanks also contributes to depicting the essential tension in a horror story.
