This final project was an audiovisual feature video that explored the issue of uncertainty among informal sector workers, particularly porters at train stations. The work was motivated by the limited representation of porters, despite their important role in supporting transportation services. This report aimed to explain the application of the three-act structure in scriptwriting, consisting of Act I (Set Up), Act II (Confrontation), and Act III (Resolution). The production process included pre-production, production, and post-production stages, with scriptwriting as the main focus in constructing a structured narrative. In Act I, the work introduced the station environment and the porter profession to build audience understanding. Act II developed the conflict through the portrayal of job uncertainty, income instability, and the daily life of the main subject. Act III presented a reflective conclusion through multiple perspectives and symbolic visuals. The result showed that the three-act structure effectively created a systematic narrative flow and strengthened message delivery. In conclusion, the human-interest approach combined with observational visuals effectively conveyed social realities and fostered audience empathy toward informal workers.

The role of the Director of Photography (DoP) is fundamental in translating narrative concepts into visual language within audio-visual productions. This study examines the implementation of cinematographic techniques applied by the DoP in producing the human interest video feature "Porter: Ketidakpastian yang Dikerjakan" (Porter: Uncertainty at Work). The feature documents the daily lives of porters at Bandung Station, shedding light on the occupational uncertainty they face as informal sector workers. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a production-based approach, analyzing four key cinematographic elements: type of shot (long shot, medium shot, close up), camera angle (eye level, high angle, low angle), camera movement (panning, tilting, tracking shot, static shot), and framing (rule of thirds, balanced composition). Findings indicate that each technique was applied with deliberate intention to reinforce the narrative, emotional depth, and thematic meaning of the work. Long shots established the station environment as a dynamic, unpredictable workspace; medium shots captured the psychological nuance of waiting and uncertainty; close ups revealed intimate emotional detail; and varied camera angles constructed the power dynamics between porters and their environment. Camera movements supported visual continuity and audience engagement, while framing principles ensured compositional coherence throughout. The study contributes practical insights into the role of cinematography in non-fiction storytelling, particularly in conveying the lived realities of marginalized workers.

This study aims to understand the impact of inflation on the purchasing power of communities in Lampung Province throughout 2024 from a macroeconomic perspective using a qualitative approach. The persistent fluctuations in inflation over the year have triggered various responses and adaptation strategies among the public, particularly within economically vulnerable groups. Through in-depth interviews with various informants—such as small business owners, housewives, and informal sector workers—this study finds that inflation has influenced consumption patterns, spending priorities, and how people manage their daily income. A noticeable decline in purchasing power is observed in essential needs and healthcare services. Common coping strategies include switching to alternative products, taking on debt, or reducing overall consumption. The findings suggest that inflation has not only economic implications but also social consequences, highlighting the importance of social protection policies and price stabilization efforts to maintain household economic resiliencej.

This research aims to analyze the extent of the implementation of Law No. 24/2011 concerning BPJS Employment in providing protection for workers in Indonesia.

Through this approach, the research focuses on in-depth exploration of existing phenomena, utilizing qualitative primary and secondary data. The results of the study explain that BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, which is regulated in Law No. 24 of 2011, plays an important role in providing social protection for workers in Indonesia through various programs such as Old Age Security (JHT), Pension Security (JP), Work Accident Security (JKK), and Death Security (JKM). However, the implementation of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan still faces obstacles, such as low participation of informal sector workers, lack of understanding of BPJS benefits, and complicated claim procedures. To increase its effectiveness, more intensive efforts are needed in socialization to workers and job information providers, as well as simplifying administrative procedures. In addition, the government and BPJS must utilize technology to facilitate access and claim submission. Strict law enforcement against companies that do not comply with their obligations will guarantee compliance and ensure more equitable social protection for all workers in Indonesia.
