LAPORAN TUGAS AKHIR PENERAPAN SOUND EFFECT DALAM MEMBANGUN EMOSI PADA FILM PENDEK “MALAM PERAYAAN”

ABSTRACT
This project discusses the application of sound effects in building emotional
storytelling in the short film Malam Perayaan (The Celebration Night). As the
sound designer, the author applied a sound design approach based on realism and
hyperrealism to create a strong emotional atmosphere within the film. By utilizing
elements such as speech, sound effects, and music, the sound design serves to
strengthen the visual narrative, particularly in scenes portraying tension and joy.
The recording techniques included a double system approach, as well as additional
processes like foley and ADR. The results indicate that sound dimensions such as
pitch, Loudness, timbre, fidelity, rhythm, space, and time play a vital role in shaping
an immersive cinematic experience. This study is expected to serve as both a
practical and academic reference for filmmakers, especially sound designers in
short film production.

ABSTRAK
Karya ini membahas penerapan sound effect dalam membangun emosi
penceritaan pada film pendek Malam Perayaan. Sebagai penata suara, penulis
menerapkan pendekatan desain suara berbasis realisme dan hyperrealisme untuk
menciptakan atmosfer emosional yang kuat dalam film. Melalui penggunaan unsur
suara seperti speech, sound effect, dan musik, desain suara difungsikan untuk
memperkuat narasi visual, khususnya pada momen tegang dan bahagia. Teknik
rekaman yang digunakan meliputi sistem rekam ganda (double system), serta proses
tambahan seperti foley dan ADR. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dimensi
suara seperti pitch, Loudness, timbre, fidelity, rhythm, space, dan time memainkan
peran penting dalam membentuk pengalaman sinematik yang imersif. Temuan ini
diharapkan dapat menjadi referensi praktis dan akademis bagi para sineas,
khususnya penata suara dalam produksi film pendek.
