| description | This paper looks into an investigation on auteur theory’s model of cultural representation through
visual narrative employment in P. Ramlee’s two heavy-dramas: Antara Dua Darjat and Ibu Mertua-Ku.
By employing a qualitative approach, case study embedded and thematic analyses implored two
concepts; film syntax and cultural valuesin both film texts. The findings found that P. Ramlee employed
and manipulated visual narrative conventions in his motivated choices of synchronic (space) and
diachronic (time) shots in both film texts. In representing cultural values such as communal,
brotherhood, responsibility and manners, P. Ramlee portrayed them through distinguishable
utilization of cinematography tools – i.e. taking advantage of deep depth of field in layering actions
and emphasizing carriers (actors) of values in medium shots. Finally, through the exhaustive
exploration of Antara Dua Darjat and Ibu Mertua-Ku’s visual narrative, it was manifested that P.
Ramlee fulfilled the characteristics of an auteur as technically competent, infused personality in his
works and idiosyncratically instilled interior meanings across his masterpieces. Though studies on P.
Ramlee are somewhat saturated, this exploration was initially a challenge to the glorified realm in
which P. Ramlee was placed by critics and fans. True to the nature of research, this exploration
summed up to an outcome which not only concurs to the filmmaker’s adoring critics but also
theoretically accords P. Ramlee into the realm of the auteur. |
