3.4 Techniques of Collecting Data
To get the data from those two sources above, the steps are explained below:
3.4.1 Preparing a table
Before collecting the data, it is necessary to make a table first. It will be used to inventorize the research data. The form of the table is as follows:
Script Video Found in
Data no.
Form of the data
Pg Set Li ne
Data n o
. Form of
the d a
ta Disk
Dur a
ti on
Ab out
Ans w
ering questi
o n
number ex
planat
ion
And so on
The table above is used to enter data after being identified. After the table is prepared, the writer collects the data from the script. The steps are as follows:
3.4.2 Reading
To get the data from the script, the first step is reading the script several times in order to get the essence of the story especially related to the information leading to the answers
of the research problems. While reading the script, the relevant data will be identified. Identifying here means the activity of separating data from non-data.
3.4.3 Identifying Data
To identify the data, marking and numbering were employed. Marking includes italizing and bracketing. Italizing was used to identify the data which were in the form of
sentences in the script while bracketing was used to identify the data which were in the form of hidden meanings, dialogs or narrator’s utterances. As the writer was italizing
and bracketing the data, numbering the data was employed. For example:
Kuribayashi :
captain, what are you doing?
Tanida :
these soldiers were conspiring with unpatriotic words, sir. 1
Kuribayashi : I see. And captain, [do you have such an excess of soldiers that
you can put two of them out o commission?]
Tanida :
no sir. 2
Kuribayashi : then stop beating them. [Deny their lunch rations instead.
A good captain uses his brain, not just his whip.]a good Captain uses his brain, not just his whip.
Tanida : Yes, sir.
After all the data were identified from the script, the next step was inventorizing
data both from the script and the video that would be in some steps. This explanations of them can be seen in the next subchapter.
