D. Techniques of Data Collection
The data of this research were collected using a note-taking technique from the utterances of the two main characters in The Back-up Plan movie. According to
Sudaryanto 1993: 133-135, this is a technique for providing data through reading carefully and note taking.
The researcher took some steps during the data collection: watching the movie, finding its transcript, making the data sheet, and categorizing the raw data into the
sheet. The first step was watching The Back-up Plan movie to understand its plot and story. After the researcher understood the content of the movie, it was then re-
watched to find the utterances containing illocutionary act performed by the two main characters. After that, the researcher searched for the script of the movie from the
internet and checked the accuracy of the script with the dialogues in the movie. The script was accessed from the internet http:www.imsdb.comscriptsBack-up-Plan,-
The.html. Next, the researcher took notes of the main characters’ utterances which were in accordance with the objectives of the study. Categorizing the raw data into
the data sheet was the final step of the data collecting techniques.
E. Techniques of Data Analysis
Bogdan and Biklen 1982: 145 state that qualitative data analysis deals with working with data, organizing it, breaking it into manageable units, synthesizing it,
searching for patterns, discovering what is important and what is to be learned, and deciding what the researcher will explain.
