We watched the original Japanese 'The Ring' ('Ringu') and the 2002 American re-make: 'The Ring'. As a group we all found the Japanese version to be much more tense as it featured a more effective use of camera angles, mise en scene, sound and editing. The original featured popular conventions, including mystery, revenge and the supernatural, such as ghosts, and the re-make brought these conventions into the 21st century, making it even more relateable for the audience.
