Today I collected my results from a short questionnaire I posted on various message boards. The message boards I posted on were American remakes of Japanese films on imdb.com. I used these message boards because the people with imdb accounts are usually avid film fans. The people would also be interested in Japanese remakes because the posts would be on specific films message boards (The Ring, The Grudge, Silent Hill and The Eye).

I also collected in the results from 10 questionnaires I gave to people in my college to get the views of the average Western peoples views of Japanese cinema.
I then analysed the results by writing up an evaluation of the results. Since the questionnaire was mostly people's opinions, i included the revelavant points in the evaluation.

Continued Researching how Silent Hill was adapted to western cinema.
I then researched an article

U.S. Adaptations of Japanese Horror Films”http://www.49thparallel.bham.ac.uk/back/special2/Ozawa.pdf, an article written by
Eimi Ozawa from the University of Japan and began writing out a questionnaire to find out general western peoples views of Western/Japanese cinema.
