Abstract

The film Nyai is the first fiction film in Indonesia in the drama genre with a one-take shoot technique for 87 minutes without cuts . Directed by Garin Nugroho and produced in 2016, this film is a pioneer in using the longest long take technique in a complete film in Indonesia. The film Nyai responds to the life of a woman called nyai in 1927 and is visualized with an approach that resembles theater. The use of one shot from the beginning to the end of the film and the packaging of the 1927 setting with a theater spirit are the main attractions in this study. This study uses qualitative methods to analyze shooting techniques and other cinematic elements. The results of the study show that the use of the one-take shoot technique in the film Nyai emphasizes the cinematic style of follow objects with a camera angle at eye level and a shot size in the form of a wide shot . Through a combination of camera movement , camera angle , shoot size , and careful blocking arrangements, the film Nyai represents reality by eliminating the cutting technique , thus providing a cinematic experience that is close to the reality of theater. In conclusion, Garin Nugroho^s film Nyai presents intense realism through a combination of cinematic techniques and theatrical spirit.
