Abstract

Plot is one of the important elements contained in narrative literary works. Plots in literary works, films, stories, or other narratives are sequences of several events, and each of these events influences subsequent events. Now, the film is considered as a powerful communication medium for the masses that are being targeted, because of its audio-visual nature, that is, vivid images and sounds.
