1.4. Methods of the Study
In writing this thesis, the writer uses two methods in order to analyze the main discussion in the movie, which is divided into method of research and
method of approach.
1.4.1. Method of Research
Siswantoro 2010:55 mentions that method of research is a method that is being used to solve the problem in a research so that researcher uses a
systematical or procedural method. By using the method systematically or procedurally the research is solid and prevent it to become random and not
focused. There are two methods that can be used to analyze data for the research, which are library research and field research. The writer uses library research for
the method of research. The writer uses some source that would support my thesis which are divided into two: primary and secondary or supporting source. The
writer use the TV Series Breaking Bad Season 01 Episode 01: Pilot as a primary source, and use the data from the books, internet, and journal for secondary
source.
1.4.2. Method of Approach
Siswantoro 2010:47 mentions that method of approach is a method to catch the reality or phenomena before the analysis for a literary work is begin to
be done. Researcher uses an approach to understand the reality so that researcher uses a solid thinking and systematically. In this thesis, the writer uses the mimetic
approach to analyze the intrinsic and extrinsic elements of the movies.
According to Abrams 1999:51: “Mimetic criticism views the literary work as an imitation, or reflection, or
representation of the world and human life, and the primary criterion applied to a work is the truth of its representation to the subject matter
that it represents, or should represent” Abrams 1999:51
Furthermore, the writer uses the expectancy theory of motivation by Victor H. Vroom to analyze the extrinsic aspects of the motive. According to
Vroom 1964, there are three factors that build individual’s motivation in doing
something. The first one is valence that refers to the person’s affection towards outcome. The orientation of the outcome depends on each person. The second one
is instrumentality that refers to the relationship between an outcome and another one. The relationship can be referred as how he may achieve the second outcome
as his valence if he can get or avoid the first one. The third one is Expectancy that refers to the confidence of the person whether he can get the outcome from his
capabilities or not. It also includes the element of risks from each outcome.
