Abstract

Romance holds a prominent position among the most sought-after genres in the Indonesian film industry. The romance genre favors deeper narratives and thematic elements driven by love between characters, but films in the romance genre are not just strong in narrative, but also in style. Mise-en-Scene stands out as one of the primary components of film style, and every Mise-en-Scene differs in its characteristics based on the genre conventions. The Mise-en-Scene in a romance film should be uncomplicated yet have a considerable effect on the portrayal of characters and dialogues. Although the film’s plot may be straightforward, the set design, embellishments, properties and wardrobes must be capable of constructing a consistent storyline and ambience. Such coherence enables the audience to comprehend the pivotal aspects of the film, particularly with regards to romance genre films.

The film Gita Cinta Dari SMA (2023) is set in Bandung in the 1980s. This research method is qualitative research with case study approach. Data collection involves direct observation of film objects, as well as documentation and literature review.
