3.1 Research Design and Type

Based on the research study and theory, this research simply uses descriptive qualitative research method. Descriptive research includes surveys and fact- finding enquiries of different kinds. It means I regard theory as the boundary, it has been directed toward boundary or particular focus which is aimed to be the object of the research, Sutopo in Silalahi 2009: 93. I applied descriptive qualitative approach because of some reasons. First, the data are words, phrases, clauses, sentences and paragraph coming from documents or key informants and respondents. The data which have been gathered are described and suited with the aim of this study. The method used to give more space for the researcher to gain information for supporting the analysis. The method of this study involved several steps. The first step is finding the movie entitled Maleficent. In the next step, the 44 writer observed the translation strategies used in the movie. The last step is analyzing the result of questionnaire with the informants. By using this method, the writer expected to be able to find out, to identify, to define and to explain the topic of the study. A library research is also used in conducting the research, in order to find out some theories through numbers of books, journal, articles, and other sources that have correlation to the topic.

3.2 Object of The Study

The object of the study is a film produced by Joe Roth for Walt Disney Pictures. According to www.wikipedia.com Maleficent is 2014 dark fantasy film directed by Robert Stromberg. Maleficent was produced from English speaking country, United States. The film is a live-action re-imagining of Walt Disneys animated film Sleeping Beauty, portraying the story from the perspective of the antagonist, Maleficent. I will use the English and Indonesia subtitle as the data to be analyzed. The duration of the movie is about 98 minutes. The film begins with an unnamed narrator who introduces her tale with the idea that the story is not always the way it seems. In the forest near kingdom called the Moors, lives enchanted creatures. One of them is a fairy named Maleficent who is kind and cares for all in the Moors. One day a human named Stefan enters the Moors. He is full of greed and steals something. He is caught, but Maleficent helps him. He would spend a lot of time with her and they would grow close. One day he stops coming cause he sets 45 to make his fortune. Later, the human king tries to attack the Moors but Maleficent stops him. The king then offers his daughter and his kingdom to someone who can defeat Maleficent. Stefan is one of his people. He goes and seeks Maleficent but cant kill her. Instead he takes her wings and gives them to the king. The king as promised gives him his daughter and after the King passes away, Stefan become the new king. Maleficent would eventually learn of his marriage and later his wife gives birth to a daughter they name Aurora. When everyone in the Kingdom goes to pay their respects, Maleficent shows up and her gift to the princess is that on her 16th birthday she will prick her finger on the needle of a spindle and will fall into a death like sleep and can only be awaken by true loves kiss. Stefan demands that all of the spinning wheels be collected, and orders his daughter to be secretly raised in the woods by three good-hearted fairies, who will return her to him the day after her 16th birthday. But Maleficent would learn where Aurora is and would keep her from harm because she wants her to live long enough for the curse to be fulfilled. Aurora would grow and would think Maleficent is her fairy god mother, and they would bond. She tries to take the curse back, but her own magic makes that impossible.
