Abstract

Films are works of art that require a lot of effort to create. One of the elements that involves a lot of attention in films is actors. To perform well, an actor, especially a child actor, must be prepared. This paper discusses how to handle a child actor by applying communication skills in producing a short film entitled “Di Balik Luka”. This research uses an applied research method, in which the researcher applies the theoretical concepts of communication skills to the practical situation of managing a child actor as an assistant director. The goal is to determine how practical communication skills are in this specific context and how they contribute to the efficiency of an assistant director’s role in a film production. The first stage is pre-production, which includes brainstorming ideas, observation, literature study, form, and technical experimentation. The second stage is the production stage. In this research, the author implemented communication skill techniques, namely active listening, speaking, explaining feelings, using “noticing” statements, and leading by example. In dealing with child casts. As a result, the child cast, who was initially quiet, became open to telling stories. Based on the research results, the author can conclude that one of the communication skills techniques, namely active listening from UNICEF, is a relevant technique for children.
