Dalam mengumpulkan data, beberapa langkah berikut dilakukan yaitu; menonton film secara berulang-ulang dan mencatat seluruh tuturan yang diucapkan oleh para karakter. Setelah itu, membandingkan catatan dengan naskah asli yang telah diunduh sebelumnya untuk mengetahui adanya kesalahan penulisan dan memastikan keakuratan data. Selanjutnya, semua data diklasifikasikan menurut kategori tindak ilokusi direktif. Terakhir, data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan menjelaskan secara deskriptif tuturan-tuturan yang mengandung tindak tutur direktif ke dalam jenis-jenisnya berdasarkan klasifikasi Searle (1979). Hasil dari penelitian ini mengungkapkan total lima dari empat belas jenis tindak ilokusi direktif yang ditemukan dalam film ini.
