The development of documentary films in Indonesia has encouraged the need for presenting reality in an informative manner while maintaining strong visual quality. Documentary films were no longer viewed merely as a medium for recording facts, but also as a creative medium capable of delivering social messages through a cinematic approach. Cinematography became an important element because it played a role in constructing meaning, atmosphere, and viewing experience through well-directed visual management. This study discussed the management of cinematographic elements by the Director of Photography in the documentary film “Mindful Sip: Matcha Beyond The Trend”, which raised the phenomenon of increasing matcha consumption as part of the lifestyle trend among young people. The method used was a creative approach based on expository documentary through the stages of pre-production, production, and post-production. The entire creation process was focused on concept planning, image capturing, and visual as well as narrative refinement so that the documentary message could be conveyed effectively. The results showed that matcha had developed into a symbol of a healthy, productive, and aesthetic lifestyle, yet awareness of responsible consumption was often neglected. The management of camera angle, camera movement, type of shot, and composition was proven to strengthen visual representation and help audiences understand the phenomenon more critically. Therefore, cinematography played an important role not only in producing attractive visuals, but also in clarifying the documentary’s message regarding the relationship between consumption trends and bodily experience.

This study aims to explore in depth the role of God in the creation of humanity as depicted in the Book of Genesis and its relevance to contemporary Christian life. Using a qualitative method with a literature study approach, this research analyzes the texts of Genesis 1:26–28 and 2:7–8, supported by systematic theological perspectives from scholars such as Louis Berkhof and J. J. Davis. The findings reveal that God’s role is multidimensional: God as the Sovereign Designer, who initiates and perfectly orchestrates the creation process; the Personal Creator, who forms humans from the dust of the ground with purpose and intimacy; the Giver of Life, who breathes the breath of life into humanity; and the Mandate Giver, who delegates authority and responsibility to humans to govern His creation. This understanding has profound theological and ethical implications, particularly for the formation of Christian identity rooted in the image and likeness of God (imago Dei), the strengthening of ecological responsibility toward environmental stewardship, and the cultivation of a transformative spirituality centered on living out God’s will in daily life. Therefore, this study concludes that the doctrine of creation is not merely a historical truth but an existential foundation that guides the faith, morality, and practical life of believers in responding to contemporary spiritual and social challenges.

The emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) such as the GPT-4 and Midjourney models has sparked a fundamental debate about the nature of creativity and imagination. The AI creation process, often referred to as a “black box,” challenges conventional human-centered understanding. This paper proposes a unique hermeneutic framework to approach this phenomenon by borrowing two key concepts from the Sufi metaphysics of Shaykh al-Akbar Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi: khayāl (creative imagination or the imaginal realm) and tajallī (self-manifestation or theophany). This study uses a conceptual-comparative analysis method to analyze the working process of Generative AI. The main argument of this journal is that the “latent space” in AI architecture can be analogized with 'ālam al-khayāl (the imaginal realm) as an intermediate reality (barzakh) that contains unlimited potential. Furthermore, the process of generating text or images from a prompt can be understood as a mechanism resembling tajallī, in which these potentials manifest specifically according to the “availability” (isti'dād) determined by user input. Thus, Ibn 'Arabi's framework offers a non-anthropocentric ontology for understanding “artificial imagination” as a process of manifesting forms from a sea of potential, transcending mere simulation or data recombination.

The creation of this artwork was inspired by the artist, who is a native of the Batak Toba tribe from Pollung District, Humbang Hasundutan Regency. This area is known as a horse breeding region, which produces waste in the form of horsehide scraps. This waste is then utilized as an alternative medium for painting. The idea for the artwork was inspired by traditional Batak Toba games rich in cultural value. This research aims to visualize the form, historical background, and function of traditional Batak Toba games through paintings. In the creation process, horsehide and oil paint were used as media. Each painting depicts the visual form of the traditional game with a simple approach yet still reflects the characteristics and meaning of the games. The method of creating the artwork is based on the stages described by Hedriyana, which include five stages: preparation, elaboration, contemplation, the creation process, and completion of the artwork. The final result of this research is a series of paintings with various titles, as the author's visual interpretation of traditional Batak Toba games.

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has led to the creation of various works, including images generated without direct human involvement. One of the platforms that facilitates the buying and selling of AI-generated images is Adobe Stock. However, this raises legal issues regarding ownership status and copyright protection of such images, considering that Indonesia's positive law has not explicitly regulated ownership of works produced by non-human entities. This research aims to examine the legality of ownership over images generated by Generative AI in transactions through Adobe Stock and to analyze its compatibility with the Indonesian legal system. This study uses a normative juridical method with statutory, case, comparative, and conceptual approaches, as well as a literature study relevant to the issues discussed. The results show that under the Indonesian legal system, a work must have a creator who is a legal subject. Therefore, images generated by AI cannot automatically be granted copyright status unless there is significant human intervention in the creation process. In transactions through Adobe Stock, the platform's policy serves as the main reference in determining ownership and legal responsibility over AI-generated images. The legality of AI-generated image ownership in Indonesia remains a gray area and requires regulatory updates to accommodate technological developments. Legal clarity is needed to protect parties involved in AI-based digital transactions and to ensure legal certainty in the protection of creative works.

Interpersonal communication is a type of communication that is often encountered and used in daily activities. Likewise, this type of communication is used in the design creation process, especially in interactions between graphic designers and clients. In practice, graphic designers often face challenges in understanding client needs, processing ideas, and making creative decisions. Challenges that often arise in the design process include mismatching client expectations, inconsistent requests, misunderstandings in translating client needs into designs, as well as various other external challenges that can influence design results. Phenomenon in the field shows that designers often experience internal conflict when balancing creativity with client requests. Therefore, understanding the dynamics of intrapersonal communication in the design process is crucial in order to produce work that meets the client's expectations without sacrificing creativity and aesthetic value in a graphic design.

The universe and all its regularities become an important object of study in both religious and scientific perspectives. In the classical view, as proposed by Isaac Newton, the universe is considered static without beginning and end. However, the development of science, such as the Friedman Model and the Big Bang theory, shows that the universe is dynamic and has a creation process. This study aims to analyze the concept of the creation of the universe in the Qur'an and science with a complementary approach. The Qur'an describes the creation of nature in six periods, as found in QS. An-Nazi'at: 27-33, which indicates the stages of creation from nothingness to the formation of the earth and the sky. Meanwhile, science explains the origin of the universe through the Big Bang theory, which states that the universe emerged from a huge explosion about 13.8 billion years ago. This study also compares the views of figures such as Hamka and Quraish Shihab, who harmonize the concept of creation in the Qur'an with scientific findings, although there is debate regarding God's role in the process. By exploring Qur'anic verses and their interpretation in the context of science, this research seeks to create a constructive dialog between religious and scientific perspectives on the origin of the universe.

This final report aims to design a website-based electronic archiving system using PHP and MyAdmin. The data collection method used by the author in this research is the field research method through interviews, observation, library research, and descriptive qualitative data analysis techniques using the waterfall method, namely the Development Life Cycle (SDLC) system, which is used to develop information systems in the website creation process. This method uses a systematic and gradual approach. This electronic filing system can help companies overcome various obstacles when recording and rediscovering documents. Automating processes in the system in systematic recording and storage can save time and help provide information quickly so that the administrative process is smooth. Reduces the use of paper (less paper) because documents are stored in digital format, so documents will not pile up and can reduce the use of archive storage space. In electronic archiving, there is no longer a need to manually record the agenda for incoming and outgoing letters, because when recording transactions, incoming or outgoing letters will be automatically recorded on the agenda for incoming or outgoing letters. For the system to continue running optimally, it is recommended that companies carry out employee training, routine system maintenance, continuous development, implementation of information security policies, and regular system performance monitoring.  Implementing these recommendations is expected to increase operational efficiency and accessibility of company information

The dance work entitled Malungunjei’s is a new work that develops the mangunjei movement motif in one of the Manduda dance motif movements. Malungunje’si comes from one of the names of the Batak Simalungun dance motifs, namely mangunjei. Mangunjei is a movement of both hands crossed in front of the chest and both hands on the left and right sides by turning the palms of the hands. The theme of this dance work is non-literal, because the presentation of this dance work is a development or exploration of the essence of the Mangunjei motif by utilizing intensity, large volume, and wide space for movement. Malungunjei's work is a group choreography consisting of three female dancers and two male dancers, a total of five dancers who will be composed in a large group composition and a small group by paying attention to the arrangement of parts. The costumes in this choreography use hiou material and the choice of colors is more on red, black and white, all three are colors used in every Batak Simalungun traditional activity. The dance music is formatted in MIDI with patterns resulting from the development of the Batak Simalungun gonrang. This work uses the exploration method as an initial part in developing the creativity of the creation process, improvisation to find movements by chance or spontaneously, composition to arrange the movements that have been obtained, and periodic evaluation and correction of the process.

Ankai sitelu is taken from the Batak Karo language, the word ankai means understanding and sitelu which means sitiga. If these three words are interpreted, they mean a dance that originates from understanding rakut sitelu. " ankai sitelu" is a dance work inspired by the Batak Karo kinship system, namely rakut sitelu. Rakut sitelu consists of sukut, kalimbubu, and anak beru. Sukut is the party who is the host in a traditional or ritual ceremony, kalimbubu is the party who is highly respected because he is considered to be the representative of dibata (god) on earth who gives tendi and blood, while anak beru is the party who does the sukut work in traditional ceremonies and rituals. This work takes the essence of balance in the rakut sitelu system with traditional karo dance movement patterns which are developed according to broader teba movement intensity, volume, level and time. Ankai Sitelu's work is a group choreography consisting of three female dancers, a total of three dancers who will be composed in a large group and small group composition by paying attention to the composition of the parts. The number of three dancers is analogous to three social positions in the Rakut Sitelu kinship system. This work uses the exploration method as an initial part in developing the creativity of the creation process, improvisation to find movements by chance or spontaneously, composition to arrange the movements that have been obtained, as well as periodic corrective evaluation of the process. This work is expected to provide information about the meaning and values contained in Rakut Sitelu. Keywords: Rakut sitelu, balance, Karo Batak tradition
