Abstract

This study explains the metaphors in the film Mortal Kombat (2021) where the focus of this research is on how to analyze the metaphors and messages in the film through cinematic language. At the beginning of the object analysis, the author presents several assumptions about the film's theme and cinematic language. In this study, the authors pose two research questions. The first is about the metaphor contained in the film. The second is the message displayed by the cinematic language technique in the film. In this thesis, the author uses the theory proposed by Coëgnarts and Kravanja (2012) and Boggs and Petrie (2008). This research technique is descriptive qualitative with a study approach. The analysis begins with several types of metaphors represented by the theory of Coëgnarts and Kravanja (2012). There are six types of metaphors, namely type, quality, modality, direction, homospatiality, and reality. After that, the writer analyzed the data using cinematic language techniques, namely camera placement, camera angel, camera movement, lighting and editing. Camera placement into three types; namely long shot, medium shot and close up. Camera angle techniques to analyze data are also divided into three types, namely, low angle, eye level angle and high angle. Camera movement is divided into three types, namely, pan, tilt, and zoom. lighting to analyze the data is divided into two, namely: low key and high key. And the last editing is divided into four: Fade, Dissolve, Crosscut, and Eyeline Match. The results of this study indicate that metaphor and cinematic language analysis techniques can identify the message of the film. Techniques used by filmmakers can send a film's message to the audience. As a result, the metaphorical film may send a concrete or abstract message to the audience. the metaphor and language of this cinematic film also make us understand all the information in detail.
