This phase began with collating the sub-themes. The process of collating them out of context, allowed objective review, to see if the sub-themes stand alone. The sub-themes are now collated together and the next step will be to apply them to the research questions.

Phase 4: Reviewing Themes This phase began with revisiting the sub-themes identified and collated against each research question. A focus was given to key points in the research question  e.g In what ways...and...a new film language.....and moving the sub-themes into two new defined groups. By placing semi-transparent circles over each group the sub-themes were visually ' equalised' , which enabled clarity in deciding which one could become the candidate theme. Once decided, the prominent sub-theme became the candidate theme and was placed above the semi-transparent circle, for visual and hierarchical prominence.

If not, then I renamed them, retaining the essence of the sub-theme. The sub-themes are now collated together and the next step will be to apply them to the research questions.

Once decided, the prominent sub-theme became the candidate theme and was placed above the semi-transparent circle, for visual and hierarchical prominence. This phase involves two levels of reviewing and refining your themes. Level one involves reviewing at the level of the coded data extracts. Meaning to read all the coded data extracts for each theme and considering whether they appear to form a coherent pattern. If they do, move onto level two . Which is a similar process, but relates to the entire data se...
