INTRINSIC ELEMENTS ANALYSIS OF THE MOVIESCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD

This study aims to find out the intrinsic elements used in the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and to determine how intrinsic elements relate to each other in the movie. This study used a qualitative method in researching which data are taken from utterances, dialogues, and narrations in the form of screenshots of the movie. This study found the movie Scoilgrim vs. The World used the plot, settings, characters and theme as intrinsic elements. This study also found the intrinsic elements related to each other by the plot changes when a character was introduced. A new character when the setting of the place changed and the plot determined the theme of the movie.

also have a darker tone compared to comic books. Graphic novels usually are standalone series, in contrast to collections or compilations of story arcs used in most comic books.
One of the graphic novels that was brought to the silver screen is Scott Pilgrim.
Unlike other graphic novels, Scott Pilgrim does not have a darker tone and does not use swear-words. In 2010, the movie adaptation of the graphic novel was made, and it is called Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, directed by Edgar Wright. The movie combined all six series of the graphic novel. Because of that, the movie translated the unique intrinsic elements used in graphic novels into the movies, which can be difficult for people watching to understand what is happening in the movie. Ramrao (2016) stated that film and literature are two different things. According to Ramrao, literature uses the written aspect of communication, whether in poetic, dramatic, or fiction form while film uses the spoken aspect of communication. Ramrao stated that the difference between films and literature is the visual images that stimulate our perception differently. In literature, we must use our imagination to build the world of the story, while films built the world for us. However, Cruz (2014) stated that both have the main similarity: to tell a story, they also share similar genres, such as romantic, horror, science fiction, and adventure.
Albeit different, Ramrao noted that many kinds of literature had been adapted into films since the beginning of films, either from novels, poems, dramas, or short stories, for example, Frankenstein, Dracula, Cinderella, and so on. Although adapted, many films are not similar to their primary source because Leitch (2007)  According to Eagleton (1996) Klarer (2004) stated that a plot is the logical interaction of various elements that leads to a change of the original situation into the outset of the narrative. According to Bordwell and Thompson (2014), the plot is used to describe everything visibly and audibly present in the movie. The plot includes all the story events directly depicted and may contain material extraneous to the story. Diyanni (2000) explained that plots are usually consisting of five main elements, such as exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Exposition is the opening/beginning of the story, which introduces the characters, setting, and background information of the story, so the audience could understand and follow the movie. The rising action is the part of the story in which the conflict of the movie occurs. Usually, there are two conflicts faced by the main characters; internal and external conflicts. The climax is when the main character must face the greatest conflict (Diyanni, 2000). The climax is the peak of the movie, usually features the culminating conflicts and struggles the main character has had throughout the movie.
The falling action is when the tension of the story calms down (Diyanni, 2000).
Resolution (Denouement) is when the conflicts of the movie are resolved (Diyanni, 2000).
According to Russel (2010), there are four types of plot structure: Dramatic plot, which establishes the setting and conflict first, then followed with rising action through climax until the end of the movie. An Episodic plot is made up of a series of stories linked together by the same character, place, or theme, but is separated by their plot, purpose, and subtext. A parallel plot is where the main characters have a separate but related storyline that merged in the end. Meanwhile, flashback gives information about events that happened before the current point of the story. It lets the story begin in the middle of the action, but later it fills in the story needed to allow the audience to fully understand what happened before the current story happens (the backstory). There are two types of flashbacks, those who recall events that happened before the story (external flashbacks) and those that recount events that already happened in the movie (internal flashback).

Characters
According to Russell (2010), characters can be divided into three types: The protagonist is the central figure of the movies. Usually, the main character in the movie is the protagonist. An antagonist, the figure who opposes the protagonist and creates a conflict is usually the evil character in the movie. The next one is the foil characters, the Intrinsic Elements, Plot, Character, Setting, Theme Literature, figure with different personality traits from the main character's. Usually, the supporting characters in the movie and help the main character to shine. Russell also stated there are two ways the characters are portrayed: Flat characters do not have depth and no change, mostly portrayed by supporting characters, for example, an evil stepmom, lousy neighbor, selfish friend, and so on. Round/dynamic characters have more developed personalities.
Mostly portrayed by the protagonist and the antagonist of the movie, who expresses a range of emotion and change throughout the movie.

Setting
Gill (1995) stated that setting covers the places the characters appear, the social context of characters, the particular locations of events, and the atmosphere the movie creates. Russell (2010) mentioned there are two types of setting: Integral setting, when the place and time influence the theme, characters, and action of a movie. and backdrop setting, a vague and general setting, helps to convey a universal, timeless tale.

Theme
Russell (2010) said that theme is the main idea of literature. A theme is invented into the story subtly rather than being told by the narrator/author. A theme is the general idea of the movie; a theme is also the message the filmmakers want to share in their movie. In this modern age of cinema, the most common themes used for movies are love, good vs. evil, humanity vs. technology, and so forth.
Based on the theories above, this study is going to explain what intrinsic elements are used in the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and how the intrinsic elements are intertwined with each other in the movie. This study is done as there are few to no other studies explaining the intrinsic elements used in the movie Scott Pilgrim vs.
The World.

Research Design
This study used a qualitative research approach to obtain the data needed that is in line with the objectives (Leavy, 2017).

The data came in the form of screenshots to provide the information to answer the research questions (Cresswell, 2013).

Data Analysis
Once the data were obtained, the author analysed the utterances, dialogues, and narrations from the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Afterward, the data were presented descriptively to explain the intrinsic elements in literature and how the intrinsic elements could affect each other in literature.

Findings
The author found that the intrinsic elements used in the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World consisted of plot, characters, settings, and theme a. Plot The author found the plot of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World consist of an exposition, two rising actions, two climaxes, two falling actions, and a resolution

Exposition
The story of the movie, told by the narrator, starts in a 'mysterious land' in Toronto, Canada. Scott Pilgrim, the protagonist, is dating a high schooler (min. 00:00:22 -00:00:31). In the first scene, the movie is telling the story of Scott Pilgrim.

He finds out about  The story is set mainly in a suburb in Toronto, Canada. Throughout the movie, there are lots of places shown, such as "Young" Neil's house, the place where Scott's band practices, Scott's and Wallace's "Man Lair" 3 concert place: The Rockit, Lee's Palace and Ninth Circle, and Chaos Theater.

Setting of Time
The movie is set in a "not-so-long ago" as told by the narrator at the beginning of the film. Based on the technology used throughout the movie it was set during the late 2000's, quite close to the release date of the movie (2010). The movie took place during winter, as seen in some scenes where snow was falling from the sky, and the streets were covered in snow.

d. Theme
Due to the plot of the movie is how Scott Pilgrim has to fight Ramona's exes to gain her affection and love, the author found that the general theme used in the movie Intrinsic Elements, Plot, Character, Setting, Theme Literature, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is romance. The movie used a specific theme about an unresolved past relationship, like Scott with his ex-girlfriends and Ramona with exes.

Discussions
The findings show that the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World used dramatic plot because the movie established the setting and conflicts first and used two rising actions, two climaxes, and two falling actions as the plot points, based on the theory from Russell (2010).
Based on the data and the findings, there are six interrelations between each intrinsic elements used in the movie such as:

Relation Between Plot and Characters
Character and plot development are connected; each is dependent on each other but at the same time is made possible by each other (Culleton, 2020). Some appearances of characters changed the plot in the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. For example, the appearance of Gideon changes the plot by giving the story another rising action, thus made the movie to have two climaxes in the story. The introduction of Ramona's exes also changed the plot a little by giving them flashbacks, thus revealing Ramona's past and changed her characterization.

Relation Between Plot and Settings
According to Janovsky (2016) started to happen when the plot is rising. The setting of the place changed from Scott's usual places (Young Neil's house and His and Wallace's apartment) to Julie's house party, the place where Scott met Ramona, and to concert place (The Rockit), and the setting of the place changed throughout the movie based on the plot, for example, the club during the first climax, and Chaos Theater during the second climax, also the Ninth Circle during the first falling action and the Chaos Theater during the second falling action.

Relation Between Plot and Theme
Plot, settings, and character are the factual structure of the theme (Stanton, 1965).
Based on the statement, the relation between the plot and theme is the plot dictates the movie's theme. The movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is Scott's and Ramona's romantic relationship based on the past relationship. It can be determined that the theme of the movie is romance generally, and unresolved past relationship specifically.

Relation Between Characters and Settings
The relation between characters and settings happens when a new character is introduced in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Ramona's evil exes introductions showed a new setting of place, for instance, the introduction of Mathew Patel moved the setting of place from Scott's apartment into the Rockit, a concert place, and the introduction of Gideon showed the Chaos Theater.

Relation Between Characters and Theme
Since the theme of the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is an unresolved past relationship, other characters in this movie had a relationship in the past with the main protagonists, either romantically or not. For example, Knives Chau was Scott's exgirlfriend and the main antagonist, Gideon, was Ramona's ex-boyfriend.

Relation Between Settings and Theme
Mainly set in Toronto, Canada, the setting of place does not correlate with the movie theme. Even though the setting of the place does not correlate with the theme, the setting of time has a little relation with the theme, as winter is the reason the romance between Scott and Ramona started since Ramona invited Scott to her house because it started snowing, thus led to Ramona and Scott's first kiss inside the house.
