METHOD OF RESEARCH
3.1 Research Design
The writer analyzed the data using qualitative descriptive method. Qualitative researchers are interested in understanding the meaning that people have constructed,
that is, how people make sense of their world and the experiences they have in the world. Merriam, 2009:13. By using qualitative descriptive method, the writer
intends to explain the data found in the source data, using the proper theory and examples. Bernard and Ryan 2011:3 indicate that the goals of qualitative research
are to uncover and describe patterns, using the patterns to compare differences between individuals or groups, and then to test assumptions about the patterns. The
authors point out that qualitative data can include physical objects, media images, audio and files, and a range of textual material from the novel to brochures and ads.
In short, qualitative research involves collecting and working with text, images, or sounds.
3.2 Source of Data
The source data of this analysis is the movie script of “Life of Pi” movie, written by David Magee; and the two different Indonesian subtitles translated by two
different translators in DVD Version and Internet Version. According to Suryabrata 2008:35 penelitian ilmiah boleh dikatakan hampir
selalu hanya dilakukan terhadap sebagian saja dari hal-hal yang sebenarnya mau diteliti. Jadi penelitian hanya dilakukan terhadap sampel, tidak terhadap populasi.
30 Scientific research may mention always almost on a part of the things that actually
want to research. So the research conducted on a sample, not on population Then, the sample has function to limit the data. The source data would be limited from the
first until the tenth minute subtitle of the movie.
3.3 Data Collecting Procedures
In collecting the data, the writer used the first tenth minutes of the dialog of the movie. The writer also used library research by consulting some books to collect the
theories; and the dictionary to consult the meaning. Some information found from website to support or complete the collected theories.
3.4 Step of Analysis
There are steps that the writer used in doing this analysis. First, the writer watched the movie with two subtitles DVD and Internet version. Second, the
writer quoted the dialog in different subtitle and made the quotation as the data to support the analysis. Third, the writer analyzed the difference between both the
movie subtitles in Indonesian. The last step was the writer made further analysis about the most translation technique found in the different subtitles.

31 3.
Categorizing the translation technique based on the theory of Vinay and Darbelnet.
4. Calculating the total number and percentage of each technique to find out the
amount of each technique based on the following formula:
P: Number of percentage F: Frequency of translation procedure
N: Number of whole sample 5.
Judging the quality in terms of accuracy, clarity, and naturalness of translation .
6. Make conclusion based on the data that have been analyzed.
P= F x 100 N
