PENERAPAN STRUKTUR 8 SEQUENCE FRANK DANIEL DALAM PEMBUATAN SKENARIO FILM PENDEK 'BENANG MERAH'

ABSTRACT
This final project discusses the application of Frank Daniel's 8-sequence structure in the development of a short film screenplay titled “Benang Merah” (The Red Thread). The film tells the story of Hadi, a man who lives alone after losing his wife and child, and his attempt to confront past memories through the belongings they left behind. The aim of this research is to examine how the 8-sequence structure—commonly used in feature-length films—can be flexibly adapted into short film screenwriting.. The findings indicate that the 8-sequence structure can be effectively compressed for use in a short film without diminishing its dramatic depth. The division into sequences helps the writer organize the progression of conflict, emotional turning points, and character resolution in a gradual and structured manner.
