Designing Digital Storyboards of Tangerang Folklore through Structural and Semiotic Approaches

Shenny Ayunuri Beata Sitinjak

Abstract


This study aims to analyse the narrative structure and symbolic meanings of Tangerang folklore and to design a digital media prototype for preserving local culture. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using the Research and Development (R&D) method based on the ADDIE model, limited to the analysis and design stages. Data were collected through literature review, field observation, and interviews with community leaders and cultural informants in Tangerang. The data were analysed using Vladimir Propp’s structural theory and Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory. The findings show that Tangerang folklore shares similar narrative patterns involving threats, struggles, and symbolic resolutions. Semiotic analysis reveals that symbols such as monuments, irrigation canals, and the figure of the “Lioness” represent local identity, solidarity, ecological ethics, and female heroism. This study also produced a Google Sites-based digital storyboard prototype containing visual illustrations, story navigation, and local cultural elements as an initial step toward folklore preservation in the digital era
