AN ANALYSIS OF SEMIOTIC USED BY
MADDIE YOUNG IN THE HUSH MOVIE
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
A. The
Background of the Study
Semiotics (also
called semiotic studies;
not to be
confused with the Saussurean tradition called semiology
which is a part of semiotic) is the study of meaning-making, the
study of signs
and sign processes
(semiotic), indication, designation, likeness,
analogy, metaphor, symbolism,
signification, and communication. Semiotic
is closely related
to the field
of linguistics, which,
for its part, studies the structure and meaning of language more
specifically. The semiotic tradition explores the study of signs and symbols as
a significant part of communications. As
different from linguistic,
however, semiotic also studies non-linguistic sign system. Semiotics may
offer an interesting
contribution to education.
Semiotics, indeed, is concerned
with signs of any kind and with the various modes in which humans signify.
According to Umberto
Eco (1979) Semiotics
is devoted to describe
the functioning of
communication and signification. Semiotics
and education are research
fields with mutual
interests and overlaps.
The study of signs and sign processes help to
understand how teaching means to communicate by means of signs and how learning
means to interpret and to grow in the capacity of interpreting signs.
According to Shadiqi (2014) on his
journal, “Semiotic Analysis of South Park Cartoon Comedy”, semiotic Analysis
today can be applied to film, theatre, music, architecture and
many thins that
can be take
as signs. Chearbhaill
(2008) on his journal
illustrated that the
analysis of semiotics
in movie should
captivate the audience using
signs and deliver
messages, the analysis
figures out that a
movie can have strong referential function representing many aspects of
reality.
In the life people like watching a
movie, movies serves as a media entertainers and information.
And the film is conductor information for the public, any genre and the
theme the movie
must expected to
leave the moral
easy to understand especially for the students. But
the fact, based on the researcher observation in the class there
were still many
students did not comprehend about
semantic and semiotic
concept especially theory
of signs, connotative and
denotative meaning. They still can
not identify the types of sign and
did not understand
the meaning from
the story. From that class
was found around 35% of students
who got C for Semantic and 15% got C/B. Most of them have difficulities to
identify Denotative and Connotative meaning.
The way signs are used in Movie,
needs more than just a mere interpretation to
be understood properly.
Any content in
Movies served in
numerous forms of performance and
often makes people
attracted to watch. These
various ways are what
likely attract researcher
to study the
phenomenon of signs
use in mass media,
especially in the
Hush movie. This
movie provides many
types of sign which
can be analyze
denotatively or connotatively, so
thats why the
researcher choose this movie
as the source
of data. This
movie is interesting
genre for semiotic analysis
to show the
simple amalgamation of
semiotics into theories
of teaching and learning through digital artifacts.
However, based
on that, the
reason researcher raise
this title because researcher want
to know the
concept of signs,
semiotic, denotative and connotative meaning
of signs used by
Maddie Young in
the movie HUSH.
And most people did not know what the meaning of the sign in the HUSH
movie. And here, the researcher focused
on analyzing the
meaning of semiotic elements
of the sign in the movie.
B. The Identification of the Problems
The problems of this research was
formulated as follows :
1. The students did not understand the concept of semiotic meaning
2. The students did not comprehend the application of denotative and connotative meaning of sign in the movie
