ABSTRACT
ENING PERTIWI. A 320090184. THE EFFORT OF WILL SALAS TO DEFEND TIME
REFLECTED IN ANDREW NICCOL’S IN TIME MOVIE (2011): AN INDIVIDUAL
PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH. RESEARCH PAPER. MUHAMMADIYAH
UNIVERSITY OF SURAKARTA.
The research proposed to analyze how the effort to defend time reflected in In Time
movie 2011 by Individual Psychological Approach. There are two objectives: the first is to
analyze the movie in term of structural elements, and the second is to analyze the movie based on
the individual Psychological Perspective.
This study is a qualitative study, using Andrew Niccol’s In Time movie 2011 as of
structural elements, and the secondary data. The primary data source is In Time movie which is
directed by Andrew Niccol, and the secondary data are some articles, book of literary and
internet related to the subject. The method of collecting data in this research is library research
by watching the movie, reading some related books and articles, accessing internet, taking notes
of important part, arranging, and drawing conclusion the data. In analyzing the data, the writer
employs descriptive analysis.
The outcome of the study shows that the movie illustrates the effort to defend time. The
time here is used as money. The people work to get time, buy and pay everything use time. And it
shows that the rich people will be immortal, the poor people will die.
Keywords: Effort, In Time movie, An Individual Psychological Approach
A. Introduction
1. Background of the Study
Effort is one of the things that give meaning to life. Effort means you care about
something that is important to you and you are willing to work for it. In Incremental
intelligence effort is what turns on people’s intelligence and allows them to use it to their
full advantage. It can foster a more collaborative atmosphere among students because
everyone can feel smart by applying their intellectual abilities to the problems they face.
(Carol Dwek – Growth Mindsets: 2011). From the explanation above the writer mean
effort is something which must be attempted, because it is important to life. For example
someone who lives in poverty works hard to get much money, and then he tries to
manage it well until his condition change, to be rich person.
In Time is a 2011 American dystopian science fiction action film starring Justin
Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, Cillian Murphy, Olivia Wilde, Alex Pettyfer, Johnny
Galecki, and Vincent Kartheiser. The film, written, directed and produced by Andrew
Niccol, was released on October 28, 2011. In Time movie present a world where time
has become the ultimate currency. In a future society, people are genetically modified to
stop aging at twenty five and after that a clock is activated with one more year for each
citizen.
There are some points that make this movie interesting to be analyzed. It is crucial
to be conducted due to the pedagogical element of empowerment in In Time.
Empowering students are vital factors that will build a better academic atmosphere,
because this movie gives the new horizon about effort, life and time. This story is very
interesting to analyze. Individual psychology in Will Salas suffering, inferiority felling,
and the influence by the meaningful environment around him. The psychology aspect is
very interesting to create the literary works. They depict the psychic condition of human
being through their literary works. Investigating the effort of Will Salas that can make
the reader know important of the time, the present writer will be a teacher later and this
project is necessary to be carried out to enlarge, insert more knowledge to her profession
as teacher.
2. Literature Review
After the writer has looked for the literature review in many libraries especially in
Muhammadiyah University of Surakarta and in University in Central Java at least, she
has not found the research about In Time movie done by the other researcher. So that the
writer cannot compare this research with other research because this is the first study of
In Time movie. The writer uses Individual Psychological approach to analyze the data
and using In Time movie as an object. The writer analyzes “The Effort of Will Salas to
Defend Time Reflected in Andrew Niccol’s In Time Movie (2011) : An Individual
Psychological Approach”.
3. Problem Statement
Based on the research background above, the problem of the study is how the effort
of Will Salas to defend time is reflected in In Time movie (2011) viewed from individual
psychological approach.
4. Limitation of the Study
The writer will focus on the analysis of the major character of In Time movie (2011)
viewed from the aspect of an Individual Psychological Approach by Alfred Adler.
5. Objective of the Study
The objectives of this study are to analyze the structural elements in In Time movie
and to describe the effort of Will Salas to defend time based on Individual Psychological
Approach.
6. Benefit of the Study
There are two benefits in this study, they are theoretical and practical benefit. In
theoretical benefit, the study is projected to give movie contribution and information to
the large body of knowledge particularly in the literary studies. Whereas, in practical
benefit, the study is expected to enrich the knowledge and experience of the writer, and
other students at UMS, and other Universities who have interested in literary study on
the movie from individual psychological approach.
7. Underlying Theory
In this study, the writer uses individual psychological theory from Alfred Adler.
This part presents the underlying theory which consist of the notion of individual
psychology, the basic assumption of individual psychology, notion of effort, aspects of
effort, structural elements of the movie, and the theoretical application.
a. Notion of Individual Psychology
According to Adler as quoted by Ryckman (1985: 95) Individual psychology is
science that attempts to understand the experiences and behavior of each person as an
organized entity. They believes further that all action one guided by a person’s
fundamental attitudes toward lies. Another Adler’s statement (in Hjelle and Ziegler,
1992: 139) is the foremost challenge confronting individual psychology is to prove
this unity in each individual: in thinking, feeling, and acting, the so-called conscious
and unconscious, in every expression of personality. Adler’s Individual Psychology
depicts human being as single, indivisible, self-consistent and unified (Adler in Hjelle
and Ziegler, 1992: 139).
b. Major Principle of Individual Psychology
The basic assumption of individual psychology can be presented less than six
general heading: (1) inferiority feeling and compensation, (2) striving for superiority,
(3) fictional finalism, (4) style of life, (5) social interest, and (6) creative power.
1) Inferiority Feeling and Compensation
Inferiority means feeling week and unskilled in facing the task that needs to
be completed (Hall & Lindzey, 1985: 147). It is the shape on individual
consciousness toward a condition which is from inability or imperfection feeling.
Adler (in Hall & Lindzey, 1970: 163) states that inferiority and unmanliness are
equal. The feelings of inferiority arise from a sense of incompletion or
imperfection in any sphere are of life. Adler contends that inferiority feeling is not
a sign of abnormality. They are the case of all improvement in the human lot.
2) Striving for Superiority
Striving for superiority means a condition that forces a man to gain a better
life to make him exist in the society (Hall and Lindzey, 1981: 123). It means that
a man is motivated to reach the superiority. According to Adler striving for
superiority is “innate of a man and his continuous efforts in gaining life which is
better than other, that is a man is motivated to reach his superiority with his own
wither is right or wrong” (Hall and Lindzey, 1981: 123).
3) Fictional Finalism
Fiction is “ideas that have no real existence, yet they influence people as if
they really exist (Feist, 1985: 65-66). Final goal may be a fiction that is an ideal,
which is impossible to realize, but which is nonetheless a very real motivation to
human’s striving and the important explanation of their conduct. It deals with
individual goal and life, which is unreal in nature or as a fiction.
4) Style of Life
According to Adler (in Hjelle & Ziegler, 1992: 144) the style of life
encompasses the unique pattern of traits, defines the flavor of a person’s existence
the life of stile originally called “life plan” or “guiding image” refers to the unique
way in which people pursue their goal (Ryckman, 1985: 98). That is to say, the
life style is “the principle that explains about the uniqueness of an individual”.
Man has different style of life although they may have the same goal; they
develop their own way to achieve their goal of life. Adler (in Hjelle and Ziegler,
1992:146) maintained four types of life attitude: the rule type, the getting type, the
avoiding type, the social useful type.
5) Social Interest
“Social interest is an attitude of relatedness with humanity in general, as well
as empathy for each member of the human race” (Adler in Feist,1985: 71). It
means that human beings consider their relationship to live cooperatively with
others for social importance rather than for personal importance.
6) Creative Power
Creative power is also called creative self means “an integration between
inborn potential and environment influences, which leads to an action to solve any
problem in his life” (Feist, 1985: 66). The concept of the creative self places the
responsibility for the individual’s personality into his own hands. In his creative
power, a man also has “Law of movement of an individual’s of solving problem”
(Hall and Lindzey, 1981: 127).
c. The Notion of Effort
Effort is one of the things that give meaning to life. Effort means you care
about something that is important to you and you are willing to work for it. In
Incremental intelligence effort is what turns on people’s intelligence and allows them
to use it to their full advantage. It can foster a more collaborative atmosphere among
students because everyone can feel smart by applying their intellectual abilities to the
problems they face.
According to Dr. Paul Martin, the theory of effort has often been defined in
various educational systems, even in physical training as being purely mechanical,
thus entailing solely an expense of physical energy, the main idea being to obtain a
conclusive result of the physical or psychological order. However, human effort does
not depend on strength alone it is the outcome of a vital state based on spontaneity
and immanency. In physical education the psychological importance of human effort
should not be overlooked on the plea that the aim to be reached is to realize
performances.
d. The Aspects of Effort
It probably has already occurred to the reader, that when the theory of the
sensational character of the consciousness of effort is analyzed, instead of being
merely thrown out at large: first the feeling that it deals common sense a blow in the
face disappears. If we state the foregoing analysis in objective, instead of in
psychical, terms, it just says that effort is the feeling of opposition existing between
end and means. Second, the kinesthetic image of qualitative nature (i.e., of color,
sound, contact) stands for the end, whether consciously desired, or as furnishing the
culmination of habit. Third, the "muscular" sensations represent the means, the
experiences to which value is not attached on their own account, but as intermediaries
to an intrinsically valuable consciousness. Fourth, practically stated, this means that
effort is nothing more, and also nothing less, than tension between means and ends in
action, and that the sense of effort is the awareness of this conflict.
e. Structural Element of the Movie
The structural elements of the movie can be divided into two elements; there are
narrative and technical elements (Douglas and Harden, 1996: 3). Narrative elements
are the element which build the story of the film, consist of the character and
characterization, setting, plot, point of view and theme (Douglass and Harden, 1996:
3). While the technical elements deal with the elements that have close relationship
with the technique of producing movie. These consist of mise-en scene,
cinematography, sound and editing (Bordwell and Tompson, 1990:126).
1) Narrative Element
a) Characteristic and Characterization
Characters are “the participants of the story, which created by the
author” (Barnet, 1961: 19). Kennedy (Kennedy, 1983: 45) also suggested
“Characters is presumably an imagined person who inhabits a story”. There
are two classified of the characters according to Koesnosoebroto namely,
major character and minor character.
b) Setting
Setting is very essential in the literary work. According to Klarer,
(Klaler, 1999: 25) suggested, “setting denotes the location, historical period,
and social surroundings in which the action of a text develop”. Every author
sometimes uses different setting in his or her work. In a good story, setting
must be integrated with plot and character that readers are hardly aware of it
(Koesnosoebroto, 1988: 79).
Setting can be divided into two parts. Namely, setting of place and
setting of time. Setting of place is place where the story or the events in the
novel occur. Setting of time is the time when the stories in the movie happen.
c) Point of View
Point of view deals with how the author tells the story of the literary
work. Klarer (1999: 21) suggested, “point of view is regarded as the way the
author telling the story”. There are two meanings of point of view. Firstly,
point of view refers to camera shot taken as if seen through the eyes of
character (Douglass and Harden, 1996: 31-32). Secondly, point of view refers
to the perspective of the story teller. This point of view is divided into three
categories: first person, second person and third person (not omniscient)
(Douglass and Harden, 1996: 31-35).
d) Plot
The plot structure first is exposition: the introduction of the problem or
conflict. Second is complication or the middle: a conflict which produces
suspense and eventually leads to a climax, crisis, or turning point. The third is
climax or the end: the highest emotional intensity and the last is resolution or
denouement: the out come or conclusion or the solving of the problem
(Kennedy, 1983: 84).
e) Style
“Style refers to the individual trait or characteristics of a piece of
writing; to writer’s particular ways of managing words that we come to
recognize as habitual or customary”(Kennedy, 1983: 75). Koesnosoebroto
also suggested that “style is usually confined to element of language: words,
syntax, punctuation, and so on, everything from the simple mechanics to the
rhetoric that may reflect an author’s originality in writing” (Koesnosoebroto,
1988: 124)
f) Theme
Theme is “the center, the moving force, the principle of unity”
(Kennedy, 1983: 104). We can take a moral message of the story by knowing
theme (Kennedy, 1983: 103).
2) Technical Element
a) Mise - en - Scene and Design
Mise - en - scene means staging action, and it was first applied to the
practice of directing plays (Bordwell and Thompson, 1990:169). Mise - en -
scene refers to all elements of set, set dressing, props, costumes, make up,
lighting, and even physical posture that are arranged and placed before the
camera lens (Douglass, 1996: 119).
1. Set Dressing and Props
According to Douglass (1996: 131), set dressings are the items in
the scene such as furniture, picture on the wall, curtain, knick knacks on
the tables, lamps, rugs, and anything that dresses the bare walls on the
floor of a set. Our primary concern is usually composing the main subject
within the frame (Douglass, 1996: 132). Prop are the objects that actors or
people used in the film (Douglass, 1996: 134).
2. Costume
A costume is one of the integral parts of play production, which
suffers most on the high school stage. Stage costume should express the
personality of the character, revealing his social status, taste, and
idiosyncrasies. It should aid the audience understanding of the actor
relationship to the other characters and to the plays itself (Ommaney,
1972:461).
3. Make - Up
Make-up in film art is not only for beautifying actor’s faces, but
also creates the actor’s face to be older, younger, shaper, etc (Bordwell
and Thompson, 1990: 133).
4. Lighting
Klarer (1999: 61) argues that lighting is indirectly connecting the
film stock for certain light conditions have to be fulfilled according to the
sensitive of the film. For the purpose, lighting divides into four major
features. There are quality, direction, source and color.
5. Sound
Sound can impart to a scene with enormous force. According to
Douglass (1996: 86) building mood in a scene with sound is done
principally through the music and sound effect tracks rather than in the
sync soundtrack. Moreover, sound can contribute to the realism of a scene
by providing the ambient background that our audience would expect to
hear in the location. Sound effect can powerfully influence our perception
(Douglass, 1996: 87).
6. Symbol
Symbolism can be found in the works of our greatest and most
imaginative directors, the power of moving images as a mean of symbolic
expression as a form of language has been a subject of fascination and
serious thought for almost as long as film has been made (Douglass,
1996:250).
7. Casting
Casting is “a vital pre-production process for selecting a case of
actors, dancers, singers, models and other talent for a live or recorded
performance. Casting sometimes involves a series of auditions before a
casting panel, composed of individuals such as a producer, director and/or
choreographer.
8. Cinematography
Cinematography is manipulation of the film by the camera in the
shooting phrase and by laboratory in the developing phase (Bordwell and
Thompson, 1990: 408). This consist of control over three features photo-
graphical qualities of the shot, framing of the shot, and duration of the shot
(Bordwell and Thompson, 1990: 156).
9. Editing
Klarer (1999: 63) stated that “editing is one of the major cinematic
techniques which have contributed to the flexibility of medium”. Bordwell
and Thompson (1990: 207) state that editing in movie production is “the
task of selection and joining camera takes. It may be thought of as the
coordination of one shot with the next”. The inherent discontinuity of the
editing process can be developed into several parts: axis- of- action,
establishing shot, a reserve shot, reestablishing, match-on-action, cross
cutting.
B. Research Method
In analyzing In Time movie, the researcher uses descriptive qualitative research for her
research on Andrew Niccol’s In Time movie (2011). The types of data of this study are the
images and the text in In Time movie (2011). The data sources are books or any information
related to the plight of being black that support the Individual Psychological approach. The
object of the study is In Time movie by Andrew Niccol and was first premiered in 2011 by

finally takes some conclusions. In this world, time has a value. It can be the goal of life. Will
Salas effort to defend time to survive his life. He struggle this, not only for himself, but also
for help other people.
Based on the analysis the researcher did draw if everyone has a goal in their live.
Moreover, in Andrew Niccol’s In Time movie the researcher finds that the major character’s
personality has the ways to get the goal in her life, to defend time . Will does some ways to
get it, such as Will had to work to get time and when Will and Sylvia were trapped and
robbed by Fortis. They decided to collapse the Weis’ bank one by one. So they can defend
of life and can give the time to other peoples who needed. Therefore, it includes the
individual psychological phenomena.

The writer has chosen individual psychological approach, basic concept of Individual
Psychology to deal with this film. This study can still be improved. It is widely possible for
other writers to apply different approach such as Sociological Approach to analyze the social
and economic aspects of Will Salas. This approach toward the same film will bring new
perspective in gaining more understanding about the film and ideas beyond it.
