The stereotypes of masculinity inherent in male characteristics can appear in women's bodies due to a state of urgency. Social understanding of reactions to the environment of men and women is situational. So, why is it impossible if a woman is masculine which means that she is no longer feminine. The masculinity of women in cinematography is the main point of the study. In this case, the rules regarding technical shooting that support the narrative and aesthetic elements of a film are further analyzed using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach and text analysis methods. Broadly speaking, this visual study examines various sign units in visual texts that work together and interact with cultural knowledge and identity of social relations in the film. In practice, all data collection in this study uses literature study. The technical study of female masculinity in film cinematography is divided into 2 stages of analysis. The first stage discusses the visual signs of films related to the unity of the meaning of female masculinity by sorting film scenes, then it is examined through the deepening of cinematographic surgery, visual syntax, denotation and connotation appearance. The second stage is a continuation of the first phase of the study, which includes the discussion of myths and social relations in the Sumba region as the setting for the film Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts. The masculinity of women in the cinematography of the film Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts finally provides a space for thinking to place men and women who should exchange ideas about gender construction views in order to work together against the current of patriarchy and other destructive views. Another objective in the exchange of views between men and women is to bring about gender equality which leads to benefits between the two parties.
