PENERAPAN PRINSIP ANIMASI DALAM MEREPRESENTASIKAN TEKANAN STEREOTIP PADA FILM ANIMASI 2D “1 RUANG”

ABSTRACT
Stereotypes toward individuals with disabilities continue to influence how they are perceived within social and educational environments. The use of hearing aids is often not understood as an accessibility need, but instead gives rise to social suspicion from surrounding communities. This phenomenon is related to the concept of stereotype threat, which refers to psychological pressure resulting from judgments based on negative stereotypes toward a particular group. This study aims to represent both internal and external pressures through 2D animation as a medium.
This research employs a qualitative approach based on creative practice by applying animation principles such as gesture, anticipation, timing and spacing, exaggeration, and staging to convey the character’s emotional experience. The results indicate that animation can serve as a medium of social representation that communicates psychological experiences empathetically while helping to build a deeper understanding of the impact of stereotypes.

ABSTRAK
Stereotip terhadap penyandang disabilitas masih memengaruhi cara individu dipersepsikan dalam lingkungan sosial dan pendidikan. Penggunaan alat bantu dengar sering kali tidak dipahami sebagai kebutuhan aksesibilitas, melainkan memunculkan kecurigaan sosial dari lingkungan sekitar. Fenomena ini berkaitan dengan konsep stereotype threat, yaitu tekanan psikologis akibat penilaian berbasis stereotip negatif terhadap kelompoknya. Penelitian ini bertujuan merepresentasikan tekanan internal dan eksternal tersebut melalui media animasi 2D.
Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berbasis penciptaan karya dengan menerapkan animasi prinsip gesture, anticipation, timing and spacing, exaggeration, dan staging untuk menyampaikan pengalaman emosional karakter. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa animasi mampu menjadi medium representasi sosial yang menyampaikan pengalaman psikologis secara empatik serta membantu membangun pemahaman terhadap dampak stereotip.
