CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

This is an introductory part of this paper. This chapter provides background of the study, research questions, aims of the study, scope of the study, significance of the study, research methodology, clarification of terms and organization of the paper.

1.1. Background of the Study

Many companies compete to create attractive promotions in selling their products to market. The sale process does not only involve people but also media as marketing tools. Advertisement is one of the promotion tools which most often used by companies to sell their products. The media of advertisement can be print media such as newspapers and magazine or electronic media such as television and radio.

Advertisement comes from the Latin word “ad vertere” means "to turn toward”. According to Dyer (1982), advertisement means drawing attention to something or notifying or informing somebody of something. According to

Oxford Dictionaries (2014), advertisement is a notice or announcement in a public medium promoting a product, service, or event or publicizing a job vacancy. In other words, advertisement is a tool of communication to attract people‟s attention

in order to promote and publicize product or service.

(18)

Widi Astuti Winara, 2015

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | \.upi.edu perpustakaan.upi.edu

Television advertisement is one of the most ideal tools to promote a product. It invites viewers to indirectly feel the benefit of the product. Television advertisement uses some interesting music/sounds, actors, storyline, settings and properties to make audiences easily tempted to the product.

Advertisement is not only used as promotion and publication tool, but also as guidelines in society because advertisement obtains societal values. Societal values in advertisement can construct ideologies. An ideology is a logical and relatively fixed set of beliefs or values (Wodak and Meyer, 2009). Thus, ideology reflects the common beliefs and values in society. A graphic designer should be able to produce an advertisement that contained ideology in it. Roxburgh (2010) asserts that design is described as reproducing ideologies and identities. He also mentions that the art of design is reliant on “Myth of Creativity” (Roxburgh, 2010). In other words, an advertisement is not only designed to sell products, but also to show ideas and ideologies through visual representation. According to Correa (2011), advertisement is a vehicle for ideologies which reflect ideas, beliefs, and opinions of the society. Therefore, ideology is conveyed through the

representation in advertisement.

Representation is the construction of aspects of reality in any medium (Chandler, 2002). Representation may reflect ideologies because it constructs the

aspects of reality which in turn will be the set of beliefs and values in the society. Gender is one of the aspects of reality which always shows in television advertisement. The representations of gender often involve stereotypes. Doring (2006) states that the depiction of men and women in media often portrays gender stereotypes. According to Amancio (1993), gender stereotypes are seen as social representations or collective ideologies defining model behavior. It can be understood that gender stereotype refers to what men and women should behave in society as social and cultural construction.

products, food and drink products, etc. It may occur because women have bigger desire to shop than men and women have responsibility for shopping in a household. Thus, many television advertisements make women as their target audiences.

Some studies have been conducted to analyze the representation of women. Aryani (2012) analyzes women representation in PT. Kao detergent products. She investigates how woman was represented through product packaging designs. The data used were the selected packages namely Attack Softener, Attack Clean-Maximizer, Attack Color and Attack Easy. The results of

the study show that women are mostly represented as feminine, tender, motherhood, mature, independent, warm, loving, caring, beautiful, attractive, friendly and happy. Another previous study about women representation was done by Utami (2013). She investigates women representation in magazine advertisement. She uses Maybelline„s Moisture Extreme Lipcolor, Sally Hansen‟s Mega Shine Nail Top Coat, Dove Deodorant, Loreal„s Kiss Proof Ultra Glossy Lipstick, Maybelline‟s Volum‟ Express Turbo Boost Mascara. The results of the study show that women are mostly represented as stylish and trendy women as reflection of modern women.

The previous studies above analyze the representation of women in printed

advertisements through packaging designs and magazine advertisements. They do not analyze the representation of women in other types of advertisements, such as radio or television advertisements. Those studies also analyze the representation of women without clearly enough explain about the ideology of the representation and how the representation create stereotype of women in society.

visualization. The present study is limited to analyze five instant seasoning advertisements and reveal ideologies behind the representation.

Instant seasoning advertisements always engage women as their models. However, every advertiser of instant seasoning companies has their own way to represent women and convey ideologies behind the representation. The present study investigates five instant seasoning advertisements: ABC „Sambal Masak‟ advertisement “Kayak Masakan Mami”, Royco „All in One‟ advertisement “Ini Resepku”, Indofood „Bumbu Racik Tempe‟ advertisement “Resep Kering Tempe”, Masako „Bumbu Kaldu Penyedap‟ advertisement “Cuma Ubi”, and „Bango „Bumbu Ayam Goreng Bacem‟ advertisement “Petani Ketumbar”.

The representation of women in the advertisements above is analyzed through their visual elements. There are some visual elements of television advertisements: actor, setting, property, frame size, camera angle and color saturation (Dyer, 1996; Selby and Cowdery, 1995). Following the kind of visual elements itself, this study analyzes actor, setting, property, frame size, camera angle, and color saturation involved in instant seasoning advertisements. These visual elements belong to the visual sign in semiotics. The present study uses some theories: Barthes‟ orders of signification theory (1957), Kress and Leeuwen‟s reading images: the grammar of visual design (2006), and some other theories about visual elements in television advertisement.

1.2. Research Questions

Regarding to the reasons that have been mentioned before, this study is conducted to reveal these following questions:

1) How are the women represented in instant seasoning advertisements? 2) What is the ideology behind the representation?

1.3. Aims of the Study

(21)

Widi Astuti Winara, 2015

THE REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN INSTANT SEASONING ADVERTISEMENTS

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | \.upi.edu perpustakaan.upi.edu

1) To investigate how women are represented in instant seasoning advertisements

2) To reveal the ideology behind the representation

1.4. Scope of the Study

The study investigates the representation of women in five instant seasoning advertisements: ABC „Sambal Masak‟, Royco „All in One‟, Indofood „Bumbu Racik Tempe‟, Masako „Bumbu Kaldu Penyedap‟ and Bango „Bumbu Ayam Goreng Bacem‟. This study focuses on analyzing the visual elements in those advertisements through actors, settings, properties, frame sizes, camera angles and color saturation. This study uses some theories: Barthes‟ orders of signification theory (1957), Kress and Leeuwen‟s reading images: the grammar of visual design (2006), and some other theories about visual elements in television advertisement in order to investigate the representation of women and reveal the ideology behind the representation.

1.5. Significance of the Study

The study hopefully may contribute to develop the knowledge of

semiotics, especially in the semiotics analysis of advertisements. Advertisement can contain signs or ideologies that cover the message. Therefore, this study is expected to enrich other researchers and readers in understanding the message

beyond what it seen in an advertisement.

These advertisements are divided into several scenes that contain representation of women.

b. Data Analysis

The analysis relies on theory on Barthes‟ orders of signification theory (1957), Kress and Leeuwen‟s reading images: the grammar of visual design (2006), and some other theories about visual elements in television advertisement. Furthermore, the scenes from the advertisements are analyzed by their visual elements: actors (physical appearances, fashion, and facial expressions and

emotions), setting and properties, frame sizes, camera angles, and color saturation. The next step is investigating ideologies contained in the instant seasoning advertisements based on the data that has been analyzed.

CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter provides the methodological aspects of the study. It covers research method, research procedures including data collection, data analysis and data presentation.

3.1 Research Method

A descriptive qualitative is used as a method of analysis. A qualitative research aims to describe, explain and interpret the collected data (William, 2007). The qualitative research deals with words and pictures, not numbers (Bogdan and Biklen, 2007). Thus, the qualitative method is appropriate to use because the present study does not aim to account the data by numbers rather the present study focuses on the analyzing and interpreting the meaning of visual representations of instant seasoning advertisement. Meanwhile, a descriptive method is an investigation that attempts to describe and examine the particular phenomena and current situation (Travers, 1978, cited in Sevilla et al., 1992). Therefore, a descriptive qualitative method is an appropriate method for this study, because this study aims to analyze, describe and interpret the representation of women in

instant seasoning advertisement.

3.2 Research Procedures

There are some research procedures in this study. Those are data collection, data analysis and data presentation.

The connotation of colors relies on the theories by Wilfred (1962), Linschoten & Mansyur (as cited in Kasali, 1995) and Fisher (2004). Furthermore, reading images: the grammar of visual design by Kress and Leeuwen (2006) is used to analyze the meanings of frame size and camera angle in order to find out the relation between the represented and the interactive participant in the scenes. The last step is to interpret the findings based on the analysis to reveal the ideologies behind the representation.

CHAPTER V

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter elaborates the conclusions of the study. Moreover, this chapter presents the recommendations for further studies in the future and those who are interested in this study.

5.1 Conclusion

This study aims to investigate the representation of women in instant seasoning advertisements and the ideologies behind the representation. The data are collected from 5 instant seasoning advertisements, as follows: ABC „Sambal

Masak‟ advertisement “Kayak Masakan Mami” (6 scenes), Royco „All in One‟

advertisement “Ini Resepku” (7 scenes), Indofood „Bumbu Racik Tempe‟ advertisement “Resep Kering Tempe” (6 scenes), Masako „Bumbu Kaldu

Penyedap‟ advertisement “Cuma Ubi” (4 scenes), and ‘Bango „Bumbu Ayam

Goreng Bacem‟ advertisement “Petani Ketumbar” (2 scenes). Women in the

advertisements are investigated through the visual elements of the advertisement as follows; actresses (physical appearance, fashion, facial expressions), setting and properties, frame size, camera angle, and color saturation.

Based on the analyzed data, women in instant seasoning advertisements are represented in many ways. In term of physical appearance, women are mostly represented with long hair and bright skin. The significations show that women with long hair and bright skin represent the concept of beauty for women in the advertisements. The significations also show that woman with long hair is a feminine and motherly woman. Thus, woman with long hair is the symbol of femininity.

rely on recipe. Moreover, old women are displayed in neutral color, such as brown and white. Thus, old women are represented as women who still use traditional ways in cooking. In connection to facial expressions and emotions, women are mostly displayed with smile expression. The advertisements show that the women are happy because they can cook delicious dishes by using instant seasoning products. The advertisements also show that cooking is a fun activity.

In term of setting and properties, women are mostly represented in kitchen and dining room. Kitchen and dining room reflect that woman is someone who has responsibility for cooking and manages the food needs. Furthermore, white and grey are the dominant colors of the properties. White in properties reflects that the woman loves the serenity in her life and always maintains cleanliness. Grey in properties reflects that the woman is a serious and independent person. Moreover, properties of the advertisements also represent that woman takes care all of the household needs, especially organizing the house.

In relation to frame size, most women are displayed through the use of medium shot. According to Kress & Leeuwen (2006), medium shot constructs a social relation between the represented participants and the viewers. Medium shot is used to represent that women have same position as the viewers in society.

Medium shot reflects that women in instant seasoning advertisements want to give the best for their family, especially in serving delicious dishes like other women in society (viewers). Thus, medium shot displays women in instant seasoning advertisements as the reflection of women in society.

In relation to color saturation, women are represented through the use of warm color saturation. In instant seasoning advertisements, women have a hope and desire to cook delicious dishes. The warm color saturation represents that women are optimist to cook delicious dishes by using instant seasoning.

The study also concludes that there are three ideologies found in the advertisement: femininity, modernism and recreation. Femininity is revealed through the physical appearance. Based on the findings, women in instant seasoning advertisements are mostly represented with long hair and long hair is the symbol of femininity. Soenarko (2013) states that men are more interested to women who have long hair because women with long hair seem more elegant and sensual. Cardellino (2014) also mentions that women who have long hair are more in touch with their feelings. Thus, women with long hair are considered to be feminine.

Modernism is revealed through the use of instant seasoning products. Modernism is reflected in the development and acceptance of new technologies to have a qualitative difference in the life (Dawson, 2012). Instant seasoning is a modern way to cook and it does not need to use variety of herbs and spices. Thus,

5.2 Recommendation

The study of advertisement is an interesting issue to investigate. For the future study, the writer suggests to expand the numbers of instant seasoning advertisements, so the result of the analysis would be more comprehensive.
