Not all that we can see are true

Ponder Questions on page 75

Original movie

1. How does the trailer of the original movie market itself?

          They market the movie by giving some really good reviews from different medias like the TIME Asia and Empire Magazine. They do this kind of market strategy in order for the viewers to find it interesting because when someone makes a good review on a movie, that means it's really nice.

2. How do the remakes market themselves?

          The remakes market the movie like the original one but only they don't have reviews like what the original movie used for marketing.

               

3. How do the notions of "local" and "global" come into play in these three films and their trailers?

        

        Each film has different translations, and concepts that made them all distinct from each other. The "global" films sounds like the whole world is involved in its making, the actors and the  production teams are firmly rooted in industrialized nations such as the United States, European countries Australia, and Japan, while the "local" films tend to be more focused only on the local cultures thus making them to get less appreciation.

              

Hollywood version

4. Who do you think are the target audiences of the original and the remakes?

             For me, the target audience of the original movie is the Americans because in the trailer they said that "The sensation that swept Asia has come to haunt America" from this, I assumed that the Americans are their target audience. But, in general, I think the target audiences of these movies were young peoples and adults who wants a thrilling horror experience.

5. Do a little bit of research. Which was the most financially successful of the three films?

             According to what I've researched, the most successful among the three films was the Hollywood version because I think the Hollywood version has many viewers because it is globally screened, though the original was screened globally also, the Hollywood version overshadowed the original because people might watch it most likely if it comes from hollywood.
