3.3 Source of the Data

In doing investigation, I collect and analyze the data from the movie and its scripts as the main source. Meanwhile for supporting data, I get some references from books both in the form of hard-copy and soft-copy, and articles that are taken from newspaper and internet.

3.4 Types of the Data

In this study, I use descriptive qualitative method as the type of data, which merely focuses on the analysis of textual data. Berg 1989:2-6 said that quality refers to what, how, when, where of a thing, its essence and ambience. Here, the data taken from the movie and the script in the form of phrase, sentences and written dialogues. Whilst, the data taken from video are in the form of pictures, mimic, body movements and dialogues.

3.5 Procedure of Collecting Data

3.5.1 Watching and Reading

The first step is watching the movie, Shallow Hal, for several times to understand of the story. By watching as the first step, it will enable me to understand the whole story easily. After watching movie, I read its script to get a deeper understanding. After that, I do watch and read simultaneously. While watching the movie, I am reading its script also to synchronize the dialogues both from the movie and the script itself.

3.5.2 Identifying the Data

The data are taken from both the movie and the script. The process of identifying will be explained as follows: 30 1. Identifying the movie. Firstly, I watch the movie and make some record time and scenes that are relevant to this study. b. Identifying the script. After watching and reading the film script, I list the quotations from the script which are also relevant to the subject matters. The process of quotation listing is by marking the dialogues with underline and giving symbol α, symbol and symbol at the end of the dialogues. Symbol α is to represent mental or emotional abuses to denigrate women both verbal and non-verbal. Furthermore, it will be specialized into symbols α.2, α.2, and α.3 for verbal abuses, and α.4 for non- verbal abuses. The symbol α.1 is for identifying the insulting expression by labeling or naming the women with kind of animals to equalize them to the animals. The symbol α.2 is for identifying the dictions of words or utterances to condescend women. The symbol α.3 is for identifying the censuring expression of physical imperfectness. The last is α.4 is for identifying the way men characters in gazing sarcastically to women. Then the symbol is to describe the male characters see women’s beauty. It reveals men’s narrow-mindedness in giving judgment which is determined by physical perfectness solely. At last, the symbol to show the causes of men’s narrow-mindedness in seeing beauty both come from internal and external. The internal factors are influences that come from the male characters themselves, 31 those influences will be symbolized with .1. The external factors are influences that come from parents .2, friends .3 and media exposure .4. All these symbolization will lead us to recognize the data easier.
