Abstract

This study aims to explore Peircean semiotic text analysis with mise en scene concept. Researcher use a counter hegemony approach to see the ideology of filmmaker. For This combination is used to identify terrorism issue constructed by an Indonesian movie entitled 3 (Alif Lam Mim) by film director Anggy Umbara. The film puts the issue of religion against secularism in the midst of high-tech times to construct a major issue of terrorism in Indonesia. 3 (Alif Lam Mim) wants to convey a message to the public that the issue of terrorism was not created by a religious group (Islam) which was considered radical as told by widespread discourses in society. This study applies Peircean semiotic analysis using icons, indices, and symbols. About the unit of analysis, it is based on the concept of mise en scene, that is, through setting, costume and make-up, lighting and motions in frames such as acting and gesture of film players that construct the issue of terrorism. With this method, this study not only looks at the contents of the film but also how the contents of the film are constructed by the filmmaker in the production process. Logical reasoning used by filmmakers shows that constructed stories provide truth about the issue of terrorism created by individuals who want to gain power.
