CHAPTER III METHODS OF INVESTIGATION
In this chapter, I will present the method of investigation that is used to analyze the film. They are object of the study, source of data, procedure of collecting data,
and procedure of analyzing data.
3.1 Object of The Study
The object of the study of this study is a film entitled “Mulan” by Robert D. San Souci which was launched by Walt Disney in 1998. This film is adapted
from an old Chinese ballad. “The Ballad of Mulan” dates back to the Southern- Northern Dynasty AD 420-589.
3.2 Source of Data
There are two kinds of source of data; they are primary and secondary sources. The primary source is the main source that is used as reference to this
analysis. It is taken from the subtitle of the film. Meanwhile, secondary source is a source that is used to support the analysis. It is a script which is taken from
internet.
3.3 Procedure of Collecting Data
In this study, I take some steps to collect data of this analysis. These steps are taken to get valid data. They are:
29
1 Watching the film for several times to understand further the purpose
of this film. 2
Selecting the scenes of the film to be analyzed 3
Searching the related material to the film from the book and the internet.
4 Finding out the problem of the film
5 Analyzing the data that has been done using the certain method which
is described below.
3.4 Method of analyzing Data
Literature research method is a way chosen by researcher to estimate the shape, content, and characteristics of literary works as the study. Endraswara
2008:8 states that method should involved an operational way in a research. It needs actions that have to be followed relate to the process of taking and
analyzing data. In analyzing the data, I use descriptive qualitative method. Ratna
2007:46 states that qualitative method takes benefit from interpreting ways and presents it in the descriptive form. He adds that in social research, the source of
data is a society and the data analysis is their actions. Meanwhile, in literature research, the source of data comes from works, and script; while the data analysis
comes from the words and sentences. Bogdan and Biklen in Ratna 2007:93 give five characteristics to
qualitative research, they are. a Research setting is natural. The researcher is they
30
key instrument because he or she is the unity who can not be separated from the context. The researcher is also the data collector. b The research is descriptive;
the data is a words or picture not numeral. c Give priority in process than the result. d The meaning is the main purpose. e Research tends to be inductive.
Therefore, in analyzing the data I only will give description, analysis, and interpretation that exist in the film in qualitative way. The data would be
dialogues, sentences, words, or pictures from the film and script. To support my analysis, I also use feminism theory because this film tells about a woman’s
struggle. The steps that I take in analyzing the data are as follows:
1 Exposing the data
First step in analyzing the data is exposing the selecting data that has been got from film, books and from internet.
2 Categorizing the data
After exposing the data, the next step is categorizing the data in order easy to analyze.
3 Interpreting the data
The next step is interpreting the data. It is an activity to analyze the data by using the theory of feminism that is related to the problem.
4 Drawing the conclusion
The last step is drawing a conclusion to answer the problem film.
