RASA TAKUT DALAM FILM ANIMASI 2 DIMENSI "FEARS" KARYA NATA METLUKHLUKH)

Abstract

“Fears” is a graduation film made by Nata Metlukh at Vancouver Film School in 2015. Nata’s first twodimensional animation film got numerous awards at various film festivals. Without dialogs, the film puts
forward the strength of how visualization in the form of animation and music represents the feelings of fear
in different forms and conditions as the message of the animator. Analysis of “Fears” aims at (1) describing
the plot of the story through the visualization of animation, and (2) exploring the forms and meanings of the
feelings of fear through the interpretation of the visualization of the plot of the story. Fifteen selected
animation visualizations of black creatures with white eyes --signifying feelings of fear and always
shadowing the main animation character and others—were analyzed. The result of the analysis demonstrates
that feelings of fear may be understood by the owners as the entity disturbing, hindering, and limiting their
thoughts and actions; but on the other side, feelings of fear are also understood in a constructive sense which
facilitates people to be always alert and cautious.
