Semiotics Analysis in the Symbolic of Colors on “Ave Maryam” (2018)

Abstract

A movie must have a purpose and a message according to the directors’ vision and plans. There are many ways to convey the message to viewers around the world, explicitly or implicitly. Yet, every individual has their own perspective, ideology, opinion, and culture background, and this difference results in different interpretation of a movie. Nevertheless, viewers can still analyse a movie with theories that has been studied for generations, for instance semiotics theory, feminist film theory, psychoanalysis, etc. We will analyse how Robby Ertanto, as the director, the writer, and the producer of Ave Maryam, conveys messages through symbolic of colours using method of semiotics theory.
