KETIKA CINTA BERTASBIH TRANSFORMASI NOVEL KE FILM

Abstract

One study of ecranisation is a transformation from novel to film. One of the novels deserves to be
studied are El Shirazy’s Ketika Cinta Bertasbih (KCB) 1 and 2. The film is based on a novel, including the
reception of research resources in the form of adaptations in other media. The presence of KCB novel
which filmed later is the phenomenon of ecranisation which siphon attention from the public from all
backgrounds and ages. The differences which frequently arise in ecranisation have often caused by the
differences in the literary system (novel) and film. The differences which frequently arise in ecranisation
have often caused by the differences in the literary system (novel) and film. The technical issues, such as
media novel form of words and language, meanwhile the main media of film is an audio-visual (sound
and picture). Therefore, it would be reasonable if the film is different from the novel. In the KCB novel
and film, the differences that exist are not only technical problems, but a deliberate distinction with a
specific purpose as well. Based on the facts above, the KCB novel and film have many differences caused
by the reception process through KCB novel conducted by film production (screenwriter, director, and
producer). This case is a problem which becomes question in the mind of the readers of the KCB novel.
The literary reception towards KCB novel which eventually lead to the film is a creative act as a reader.
