Abstract

The process of storytelling in documentary films is different from fiction films. While dramatic elements are essential for fiction films, they are also necessary for documentaries. The inclusion of dramatic elements in documentaries keeps the audience engaged and helps them comprehend the film’s message. The primary challenge in documentary filmmaking is that the facts and data are already available. Therefore, the director must find inventive approaches to spot and resolve conflicts using narrative elements. The author in this research uses narrative elements with a three-act structure to explain the premise of the documentary film Perayaan Detik Mengiringi Detak. Throughout Perayaan Detik Mengiringi Detak, the director effectively utilizes both audio and visual elements to clarify the narrative structure, also divided into three parts. According to the analysis conducted in this research, it was found that the first act describes the introduction of the characters in the premise, the second act explains the conflict and the third act describes the conclusion of the film. The results of the analysis reveal that the premise elements can be comprehended via the narrative components of a three-act structure.
