Represenstasi Cyber Bullying Dalam Silent Movie ‘The Dreams’ Karya Edo Setiawan

Abstract

Moving images are used in films as a form of communication. One of the things that makes it
interesting and makes you stop thinking is the interesting plot and great sound effects. Films
serve a variety of purposes besides providing entertainment, including providing information,
encouraging education, and facilitating communication. The message that the communicator
wants to convey to the audience is often conveyed through film. Silent films are films that do
not include recorded and synchronized spoken dialogue. In order for the audience to better
understand what an actor or actress is feeling and portraying on screen, silent films place a
lot of emphasis on body language and facial expressions. The aim of this research is to find
examples of cyberbullying depicted in the main character in the silent film "The Dreams" using
a semiotic model which includes representation, object and interpretant. Semiotic analysis is
used as a data analysis technique in this qualitative research. Semiotic analysis is a branch of
linguistics that seeks to find the meaning of signs or things hidden behind a sign (advertising,
news, films). Semiotics involves analyzing language, images, gestures, or other objects to be
able to communicate messages based on a concept.Cyberbullying is a form of harassment or
intimidation that occurs via social media, text messages, emails, or other online platforms.
This is a serious problem that can have long-term consequences for the mental and emotional
health of its victims. In this essay, we will explore some important lessons about cyberbullying.
Cyberbullying is a type of intimidation or harassment that occurs online, whether through
social media, text messages, emails, or other channels. This is an important issue that may
have long-term impacts on the mental and emotional well-being of victims. We will examine
several important lessons about cyberbullying in this article. Cyberbullying has a significant
impact on its victims. This can lead to stress, anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts.
Victims feel isolated and trapped in a never-ending cycle of bullying because online
harassment can happen at any time, even in their own homes. The role of adults, especially
parents and educators, is important in overcoming cyberbullying. They must support victims,
advise abusers and monitor their children's online activities. Schools should also have clear
policies regarding cyberbullying and take steps to prevent it. Cooperation between families
and schools is essential to combat this phenomenon. Technology can also be part of the
solution. Technology companies and social media platforms should have strict policies against
cyberbullying. They can develop more effective algorithms and filters to detect and prevent
online harassment. Additionally, they should make it easier to report cases of cyberbullying
and cooperate with law enforcement when necessary. Public awareness is very important to
combat cyberbullying
