BIOGRAPHY x CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This chapter consists of background, Research questions, objectives of the study, significances of the study, and scope of the study. A. Background Nowadays, there are many entertainments which give us inspiration and knowledge. The entertainments give us the things that support our life to enjoy other people`s creation, one of them is literature. According to Wallek and Warrant (1976: 94), Literature is a product of author’s imagination. Learning literature can help us understand better life especially environment, culture, and value because literature represents the life, which may occur in social reality. There are many literature products that people can enjoy such as song, novel, poem, and movie. Stamp & Raengo (2004: 81) categorized movie as a literary work because movie is a creativity of a work of art. A movie also called a film or motion picture. Moreover, Trianto (2013: 13) defines movie as a result of a creative, process of the filmmaker that combines various elements such as ideas, values ideas, value systems, and ways of life, beauty, norms, human behaviors, and technological. Movie has an important part to express a feeling and imagination of someone. There are many things that people can analyze from the movie by using theory such as feminist, post-colonial, and semiotic, but the researcher chooses deconstruction theory. Derrida (1978:11) states that deconstruction changes a singular tradition text to a plural text as the inter text and deconstruction only admits the plural meaning. The researcher chooses deconstruction theory because it implicitly helps audiences know the meaning of the literary work. There are many kinds of movies with different stories, genres, and fantasies. However, the researcher chooses “Moana movie” because the researcher is interested in the story of this movie. The story tells us about woman`s fighting in getting the rightness, and then Moana is a different woman. Not only that the researcher wants to show that the characters are not important (minor character) in this movie but also the importance of performing characteristic of the main character. The subsection of holy Quran as follows: َﻋﻠَﻰ ْاﻟﺒِ ﱢﺮ َواﻟﺘﱠ ْﻘ َﻮ ٰى َو َﻻ ﺗَ َﻌ َﺎوﻧُﻮا َﻋﻠَﻰ ْ ِاﻹ ْﺛ ِﻢ َو ْاﻟ ُﻌ ْﺪ َو ِان َواﺗﱠﻘُﻮا ﱠﷲَ إِ ﱠن ﱠﷲَ َﺷ ِﺪ ُﯾﺪ ْاﻟ ِﻌ َﻘ ِﺎب ﴿اﻟﻤﺎﺋﺪة: ٢﴾ Translate: And help one another in righteousness and piety, and do not help one another in sin and injustice and keep fearing Allah, indeed Allah’s punishment is severe. In the verse above it,explains that as humans we must help with other people, because in a life when we get a problem only the other people can help us in solving the problem. In Moana movie, there are some characters, that are not prominent and not the main characters in this movie but without these characters the movie will not be like this. So the researcher would show that all the characters

  • An Academic Report Examining the Theory of Creativity and Innovation and How It Could Be Applied to a Sector of the Events Industry of Your Choosing
    An academic report examining the theory of creativity and innovation and how it could be applied to a sector of the events industry of your choosing. Caitlin Davies Introduction Events in the film and television industry are used as a marketing tool within the advertising and distribution stages before general release (Kerrigan, 2017). It has become paramount within the industry to survive the 21st Century global marketplace (Berry et al., 2006; Shalley et al., 2009; Arvidsson & Niessen, 2015; Pike, 2011) and economy, whilst also staying highly competitive. As a result, there is now the need for organisations to invest in redefining basic marketing strategies and ways of thinking (Lei & Slocum, 2002), such as strategies through creativity and innovation (Woodman et al., 1993; Chen et al., 2011; Mehta et al., 2014), to keep up with global competition, solve organisational problems (McMullan & Shepherd, 2006) and sustain their position in the market (Grant, 1996). Katzell (1994) describes these organisational changes as necessary due to ever changing factors such as technology, the economy, politics, social and corporate differences. Through the development and introduction of creative and innovative products and services within the film and television industry, organisations can ensure the satisfaction with the end market consumers and gain a competitive advantage (Liu & Atuahene-Gima, 2016) leading to increased ratings, viewership and sales. For an organisation to do this, consideration must go beyond today’s competitive processes to become one of continuous development (Kao, 1997; Tether, 2003; Scarborough & Zimmerer, 2005; Duverger, 2012), with the focus being on creativity and innovation for the future (Hamel & Prahalad, 1991).

Trosborg’s taxonomy of request strategies (1995), Face Threatening Acts (FTAs), and politeness strategies by Brown and Levinson (1987), Fairclough theory of power (1989) are applied to explain the phenomenon of how the act of making and responding to requests influence the possible politeness strategies, the construction of gender by language choices and their power. The study indicates that Moana, a daughter of the chief village, succeeds in reaching her goal of her mission to request Maui to restore the ‘heart’ of Te Fiti and further restore and heal the nature. Moana’s success, despite Maui’s rank and status as a powerful male demigod, is the result of her communication of using request strategy, which also demonstrate her powerful position.
